Fearless Foursome is impossible to oppose here with Lord Saar and Been Here Before rating the main dangers. The selection has won his last three races in good style notably when beating Flaming Heck last time out, granted he is rising in the weights but he again has conditions to suit and he is impossible to oppose. Lord Saar rates the main danger on his best form but he has failed to complete the course on his last two starts so he can not be put forward with any confidence. Been Here Before may need the run after a 279-day absence while Follow The Bear looks outclassed, and for the winner we return to Fearless Foursome.
