This is a tough one to call as Megamunch is no certainty to conform recent course and distance running with Rocket Ronnie and KOLONEL KIRKUP on the revised terms. The latter endured a particularly troubled passage and, as he's fairly treated on his best form, gets a tentative vote here though Confusing has been threatening to win a race like this for a while and shouldn't be far away again. Snap Music is better than she showed at Ayr but Mister Marcasite hasn't been seen since winning at Nottingham in May and seems to prefer an easier surface. Medici Dancer looks best of the rest as Krupskaya was tailed off in a claimer at Redcar on Saturday.
