Check Up, Inconel and Spotoncon are three against the field in this desperate bumper and the vote is given to Check Up. The selection was a fair third behind Nelsons Spice last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under similar conditions here he is taken to score. Inconel rates the main danger as he hails from a yard that can do no wrong in this sphere and he will not have to be anything special to take a hand in the finish so he should be watched in the market. Spotoncon has shown a modicum of ability in two runs to date so should be noted in the market while Catherine's Run hails from a predominantly flat yard and is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Check Up to minimum stakes.
