Jost van Dyke, Hunting Call and Cherri Fosfate can fight out the finish of another trappy affair with Jost van Dyke the selection. Hunting Call was placed in a maiden at Newcastle in September but has failed to reproduce that effort since. He was well beaten in selling company last time but this is a poor claimer and he can go well. A winner at Kempton in May, Cherri Fosfate has shaped creditably since and in this company must have a leading chance. A winner at Yarmouth in July, Jost van Dyke was not beaten far in his last two starts He has the most consistent form in the race and this contest may not take much winning. Jost van Dyke can lead them home.
