Withdrawn
The trio for the shortlist are Sir Geoffrey, Methaaly, Step It Up and HARRY UP and the vote is given to Harry Up. Course and distance form counts for a lot here, and Harry Up has won here in the past. He likes to trailblaze and if he can get to the front from stall 5, then he could be difficult to catch on this turning track. Sir Geoffrey arrives here in cracking form having won two of his last four races. He wasn't beaten far last time behind Noodles Blue Boy and he is another with plenty of early speed so he has to be on any shortlist. Methaaly and Step It Up would both have claims on the pick of their form but the draw is a big negative for each of them and they will need some luck to get competitive. Not My Choice has winning form here and for each-way punters he could represent some value. However, the vote is given to Harry Up.
