Mirant gets the vote in this desperate seller with Moorlaw and Lord of Methley rating the main dangers. The selection has failed to take to chasing but returns to hurdling in a desperate race has conditions to suit and looks the one to be on. Moorlaw looks his only conceivable danger as he won well last time out when beating Kingscourt Lad, that form looks solid and he should be closely watched in the market. Lord Of Methley is another that could go well on his best form but he has a little to find with the principals on these terms and is passed over for that reason. The remainder have shown virtually nothing and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Mirant.
