This is another tricky race for punters to call and Ballyrush, Bretton and Dalriath are all worth considering with the vote given to the last mentioned. The selection won well over this course and distance last time when defeating Desires Destiny, and as he still looks to have plenty of scope for improvement he could have enough in his locker to take this before returning to hurdles. Ballyrush has got obvious claims here and the drop in trip should suit, but he has been largely frustrating to follow and he is not one to be lumping on at short odds. Bretton is another that should be suited by the drop in trip, but he was well beaten behind True To Yourself at Wolverhampton and he will have to do better to score here. Cumbrian Princess is the other that may have place claims, but Dalriath is in good heart at present and is given the vote.
