Inchpast gets the vote here with Up In Arms and To Arms rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Noble Minstrel with a little in hand and although higher in the weights here he is taken to win again. Up In Arms rates the main danger on his latest second behind Hatmey but this looks more competitive and he looks vulnerable under his penalty. To Arms is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Elusive Dream but he is hard to win with. Right Option is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he now looks weighted up to his best. Rare Coincidence will make a bold bid to make all but for the winner we return to Inchpast who has plenty of ticks in the right boxes.
