Low Delta gets the confident vote here with Old Benny and Storm Talk rating the main dangers. The selection was going well in a better race than this until being brought down in a race won by Sydney, this looks easier and he need only put in a clear round to score and continue the good form of his stable. Old Benny rates the main danger on his latest second behind Very Special One but he is very onepaced and the drop in trip has to be of concern and he is taken on with this in mind. Storm Talk is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market with the step up in trip in his favour. Of the remainder Ibberton's best form is on a faster surface and for the winner we return to Low Delta who gets a confident vote.
