Fiveoclock Express, Looks The Business and Beauchamp Twist look the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Looks The Business. Fiveoclock Express is on the hat-trick bid today and could not be in better heart at present. However, he is worse off at the weights for a narrow victory over Looks The Business last time on this track and at the revised weights the placings should be reversed today. The selection has since won at Wolverhampton and he will have no trip or ground worries here. Beauchamp Twist looks to have decent place prospects as she usually runs her race. However, she does lack a change of gear and for that reason she is often found wanting at the business end of the race. Party Ploy has yet to find his form this year but he would have claims if he could put his best foot forward. However, Looks The Business is in good form and he looks the one to be with today.
