This looks to be quite a competitive claimer and many would have chances on their best form, but Typhoon Tilly, Broughton Knows, Daunted and Sungio look to be the leading players and the vote is given to the last mentioned. The selection looked as though he was running into a bit of form when a close fourth behind Paradise Flight over 2m at Lingfield last time. He is dropped in trip here which will not be a problem and he should go well. Typhoon Tilly did not get the race run to suit over this course and distance last time when fourth behind Eastborough. If he gets the stronger gallop that he needs here then he will not be far away at the finish. Broughton Knows finished behind Typhoon Tilly last time but he is weighted to get closer to him here and he is another with claims. Daunted will be suited by the drop in trip, but his best form is at Southwell and Lingfield and we are happy to take him on with our selection Sungio.
