Despite looking far from straightforward AL RANNAN looks to have the ability to go close and gets our vote ahead of Chadford. Formerly with Michael Bell, our selection showed his first real sign of ability on his first start for this yard at Wolverhampton. He was stuck wide throughout and did well to finish so close and off a 1lb lower mark is taken to win now returned to turf. Chadford is up 3lbs for taking second at Redcar but the ground is more of a concern and he's taken on with that in mind, although if he goes through it a big run is likely. Eduardo comes into the reckoning on the pick of his form but that has come at Southwell so best of the rest may be May's Boy, who needs a bit of give in the ground on what we've seen, while support for Sukhothai or Milly Filly would be noteworthy.
