There is not much between these on paper and although Backdraft has plenty of scope for improvement, Out Of The Shadows is marginally chosen as the value selection. She has raced in decent company of late and the return to a more galloping track should see her in a better light. In Good Faith is a tough opponent in contests such as this but he has been off the track for quite some time now and may be best watched here. Theme Valley also has plenty of ability but has failed to deliver the same sparkle he shows when he races away from Sedgefield to be a confident selection.
