Super Dolphin let supporters down last time with a poor bout of jumping but can make amends this afternoon, Gipsy Cricketer and Faddad could provide most danger. The selection was eventually pulled up in Perth contest after hitting the fourth last. His previous effort when chasing home Risky Way reads well enough and he looks the one to be on. Faddad is making his chase debut having landed a selling hurdle last time. He looks on a pretty fair mark and should go close if he jumps round. Gipsy Cricketer put in his best performance for some time when chasing home Get The Point at Newton Abbot last time. A repeat of that effort should be good enough to get him involved here. John Best¿s Royal Racer would be of interest if well supported, but on this occasion we will side with Super Dolphin.
