Pietro Vannucci gets the confident vote here with The Outlier and Runaway Bishop rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Walcot Lad last time out. That form has since been franked and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. The Outlier rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Sett Aside. However he has a penalty for that win and that may just find him out in this more competitive affair. Runaway Bishop goes well at the track but he has disappointed of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Kosmos Bleu has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he is hard to win with and for the winner we return to Pietro Vannucci.
