This appears to be a two horse war with Jivalty and Dickens set to fight out the finish, Dickens just gets the nod, best of the remainder should beTipp Top. The selection is certainly no stable star, but he has at least finished in the frame. His second to Kenxzo at Ludlow last month is probably the best recent form on show and he could be good enough to land this very weak event. Jivaty has contested some better events, but on the whole has found very little at the business end. He may need a bit further than this to show his best, but he should still be capable of making a race of it with the selection. Tipp Top has shown bits and pieces of form and may be the best each- way alternative to the two principals. The rest make very little appeal and so Dickens will not find many easier openings and is taken to oblige.
