Littledodayno is certainly not one for maximum confidence however we will give him one more chance today; Kennington and Drum Dance make it to the shortlist. Endless Summer is likely to be prominent in the betting given his level of consistency this season however he hasn't been seen on the all-weather for some time and yet tow really impress in those five starts, he cannot be truly fancied today despite a decent draw. Littledodayno should be monitored for market support but if the vibes are positive then he can be given one more chance. A poor start just three days ago meant that defeat was inevitable and now reunited with Nicky Mackay, a big run should be expected. Drum Dance is fairly hit and miss however he ran well in first time blinkers when last seen and if they work the oracle again then he should be there or thereabouts from a good draw. Maison Dieu tries the headgear for first time in the hope of bringing about some improvement, whilst Siraj is a course and distance winner and shouldn't be ruled out despite not coming here in top form. An open handicap to get proceedings underway and the tentative vote is given to Littledodayno.
