Mr Bigglesworth, Make My Hay, Jaccout and Mnason look the main protagonists in another tough race to call and the vote is given to Mr Bigglesworth. The selection was a good second behind Impulsive Bid last time out and that form looks rock solid in the context of this race. Although he is rising in the weights he has plenty of scope for improvement and he will be hard to beat. Make My Hay rates the main danger but he was behind the selection last time out and although he is better off at the weights here he still has a little to find. Jaccout is another worthy of respect having won well last time out when beating Only Words but he has a penalty for that win and this looks more competitive so he is passed over on this occasion. Mnason was a fair third behind Black Nite last time out but he was doing all his best work at the finish and the drop in trip is not sure to suit. Of the remainder Archie Babe has dropped to a handy mark and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Mr Bigglesworth.
