Zennerman went close last time out but that was in a lowly seller and so preference is for Im Ova Ere Dad ahead of Parkview Love. The selection has a great record at the track and should be supported to gain his third course win. He has run a little flat on his two most recent starts but he looks to be on a fair mark and whilst his wins have come in larger fields, he can remedy that fact today. Rebellious Spirit and Parkview Love both need to put disappointing efforts behind them, whilst Zennerman is up in grade but certainly not out of it. Kabeer needs a check in the betting now returning from a summer break, whilst Boundless Prospect is consistent and proven on the surface. A tough finale in which very few can be written off, and it is Im Ova Ere Dad who is taken to win.
