Oro Street is given the narrow vote here at the main expense of Escort, Lone Soldier and Saddler's Quest. The selection has not got a great winning strike-rate but he ran well last time at Ludlow behind Diamond Orchid and if he could reproduce that effort here he would not be far away. Escort won well when defeating Pink Harbour at Bangor last time in a moderate contest, but this is not much better so he has got to have claims and should be capable of running on into a place. Lone Soldier was favourite when he fell in a similar race to this at Market Rasen last time, and if he puts in a clear round he will have a great chance as he had previously won well in a better race than this at Catterick. Saddler's Quest is the other that catches the eye but he may struggle to see out this trip in these conditions, so for the winner we return to Oro Street.
