Munaawib and Bachelor Knight are easily overlooked on today's terms but it looks pretty tight amongst the remainder. All Or Nothin landed a double in plating company on the Turf during the summer but Illustrious Prince hasn't won on the all-weather since 2010 and Alpha Tauri has done all his winning at Southwell so far. Creek Falcon is capable of going close at his best but is too unreliable to recommend and PRAVDA STREET gets the nod. The latter has failed to figure over longer trips in soft ground since scoring at this track in July and can return to winning ways back on this surface.
