Blessed Place, Peruvian Style and Bodden Bay are the three against the field with the last named getting the vote. Bodden Bay put a poor performance behind him when coming good last time out at Carlisle when beating Chairman Bobby by half a length. He is usually a consistent type and if running as well as last time out he will take some beating. Blessed Place looks the main threat to the selection and has the services of Jamie Spencer. His form again is consistent without winning much but another good run should be expected. Peruvian Style comes here on the back a a decent run in claiming company at Ripon. More is needed here but for each way purposes he has chances. So for the winner we return to Bodden Bay.
