Dash For Cover looks the pick of the weights in this tricky event, He's Hot Right Now and Space Cowboy also look set to run well. Dash For Cover was beaten by today's rival Little Rort when they met here last month. The selection went down by three-quarters of a length and should have no problem reversing the form on today's terms. He's Hot Right Now is just that, having beaten Ton-Chee at Sedgefield last time. He hasn't gone up too much in the weights and will be hard to keep out of the money. Meanwhile Space Cowboy hit form at this time last year, his best effort an excellent second to Shuhood at Ludlow. It would be no surprise to see this one go close at a big price. Vulcan Lane and Sunnyarjun are two others in with shout in a very open event, but for the winner we return to Dash For Cover.
