Granite Man gets the vote here with Scarface and Le Forezien rating the main dangers. The selection beat Scarface last time out and although that rival is better off at the weights here the selection is taken to win again as he is expected to cope with this faster surface the better of the too. Scarface is sure to have his supporters but all his best form is on a softer surface and he is opposed for that reason. Le Forezien is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Silver Bow especially as this shorter trip should suit and he should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Cois Na Tine Eile is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Granite Man who looks to have everything in his favour.
