Verdict

Course and distance winner Premier Fantasy gets the nod here ahead of Night Prospector and Irish raider La Motta. Tim Pitt has his stable in excellent form, and although he has kept rising in the weights, he is the selection in the hope that he can continue the stable's form in this slightly weaker race. The main threat could be Adrian McGuinness's La Motta who has been excelling himself in stronger races in Ireland and if reproducing that form could go very close, although he has only had one run on the all-weather and thus can not be guaranteed to act on the surface. After going close on his first drop into claiming company last time out, Night Prospector can be fancied to go well here if that run has managed to spark some life back into him, although he is yet to win over the distance and therefore can be readily passed over for a win bet. Of the rest, evergreen Paddywhack would have each-way claims but is better over the minimum trip, whilst Jamie Osbourne's Morse had been running well until disappointing last time out but forgiven that run he would look to have fair claims. For the winner though, we return to Premier Fantasy in the hope that he can hump his big weight to victory.
