Rock Fever gets the vote here with Saucepot and Taylor Made rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second last time out behind Carcinetto in a similar race and under similar conditions here and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. Saucepot rates the main danger on his best form but he his best form of late has come over a longer trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Taylor Made is another with place claims on his latest fifth behind Largs. He has only had 12 starts to date so at least he has scope for improvement. Eidsfoss has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but she has shown very little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Faithisflying is from a yard in form and ran well last time out so could go well at a price but in a trappy affair for the winner we return to Rock Fever who at least ran well last time out.
