Schinken Otto, Westfield Dancer and Dalraith are among the ones in form and we are with Schinken Otto. A keen running sort, he gained compensation for a string of fair efforts and if he has gleaned confidence from getting his head back infront, there is every reason to be on him again today. Westfield Dancer was an odds-on flop on his latest start. A maiden after 25 starts, he ran a fair race on British debut and can be expected to attempt to make the best of things from the rise of the tapes. Dalraith tends to run in snatches but has yet to win at Southwell in her previous attempts. The Dublinpublican has bits and pieces of form that would entitle him to consideration although he looks not to have progressed from his success at Wetherby. Changing Gear won a weak maiden hurdle at Worcester. The blinkers are kept on for a first bow over chase fences. Electrique's flat ability has been met with frailities over the obstacles. Play Master looks ordinary. Schinken Otto is in form and looks to be the percentage call.
