Verdict
Pertemps Networks rates as a confident choice here and he is put forward to beat the likes of My Mentor and Exit to Luck. The selection is well handicapped and he bolted up at Newcastle last time when he beat Nero West. He is quickly turned out and he should prove very difficult to stop. My Mentor did not run his race last time but he had previously won here and if he can reproduce that form here then he should get competitive. Exit To Luck is a consistent type and this slight drop in trip should suit him, so he can run his race. Mr Mischief will probably need the run on his return from a break, and we will stick with Pertemps Networks to make it back-to-back wins.
