Daunted, Aveiro and Spanish Star look the three to concentrate on in this seller and a confident vote goes to Daunted. The eight-year-old won a claimer in good style the time before last and followed up in fine style when odds-on at Southwell on Tuesday. A repeat of that effort should be enough here. Aveiro rates the main danger on his latest third behind Bella Pavlina but he may struggle under this weight. Spanish Star was behind the selection the time before last and although he is better off at the weights we take Daunted to confirm his superiority over him. Of the remainder, Orinocovsky would have a chance on his best form but he is not proven over this trip, so for the winner we return to Daunted.
