Cashel Mead, El Potro, Louphole and Dunn Deal all look to hold claims in this competitive handicap and we will side with Cashel Mead as our idea of the winner. The selection ran a cracker at Yarmouth last time behind Mystery Pips. This mare was finishing better than anything that day and with the aid of stall 2 tonight she should take plenty of beating. El Potro rates the main danger as he wasn't beaten all that far at Ripon last time behind Pomfret Lad. However, he has not been done any favours by the draw tonight and as he has never won the turf he is passed over on this occasion. Louphole has not run over this trip for nearly a year and as two of his three career wins have come over the minimum trip he has to be considered, but he is hard to recommend from stall 17. Dunn Deal is a course and distance winner and he has a fair draw so could go well at a price. However, for the winner we will stick with Cashel Mead.
