Tommytyler gets the vote to win this trappy affair with Extemporise and Magari rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Haunt The Zoo last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Extemporise rates the main danger on his latest third behind Yorkie but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. Magari is another with place claims on his best form but he has yet to prove he stays this far so can not be put forward with any confidence. Rebel Raider has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price from what looks a good draw. Of the remainder Game Guru is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Tommytyler.
