Kazbow won this last year but has something to prove now as he's been tailed off on both starts this season, while Old Hundred proved a big disappointment last time after winning on his seasonal return. Perpetually sneaked in a good effort at Pontefract between a couple of woeful performances but Bollin Greta never figured last time after winning at Nottingham. Rare Ruby and Meetings Man have been more consistent of late, but are both stepping up in class today so a speculative vote goes to ARIZONA JOHN. He's back on a winning mark, turned in a better effort last time and is open to improvement over this longer trip.
