Penbryn just got the better of Kyle Of Bute here last time with Spirit Of Gondree further back. There's little to choose between those three today but the vote goes to MORAL ISSUE. The latter has improved with every run this year and after a length defeat at this track last time, he looks set to finally get his head back in front. Abhaath has been thereabouts in plating races of late, while Delightful Sleep was placed over longer trips here on a couple of occasions last month but still looks a shade high in the weights on that evidence.
