SUPER SENSATION, fit from some outings on the flat, is fancied to appreciate today's drop in class and he is nominated ahead of Chunky Lad, Ben Bacchus and Johns Legacy. Although the selection may not have the most experienced jockey on board, he does have some fair pieces of form to his name, including a win over this course and distance back in 2007 off a mark of 102. He hasn't stood too much racing since but his two outings on the all-weather have been full of promise and he looks primed for a big run here. The best jockey in the line-up is arguably Rachel Green, and she takes the ride on Manly Money. He got rid of Liam Heard over fences last time and he will need to be more tuned in today over hurdles to play a part. Fortune Point and Mickey Pearce don't come here in the best of form, so it may pay to consider Doctor Robert as more of a danger. Although he failed to complete last time, Carl Llewellyn's runner is not badly treated at the weights as a four-year-old and although he is winless in 17, he may do better now dropped in grade. Petite Pistolet is unexposed and is not one to take lightly as she drops in class; her jockey knows where the line is and the partnership should run well. Ben Bacchus joins the penalised Chunky Lad and the returning Johns Legacy on the list of dangers; however it is Super Sensation who is fancied to lead them home.
