Kid Charlemagne gets the confident vote here, with Wipe Your Eye and Enroblim Top the best of the rest. The selection was well-supported when winning on his racecourse debut at Towcester and has been given ample time to get over that run. Carl Llewellyn has a fine record when he rides his own bumper horses and there appears no reason why he shouldn't improve that record here. Wipe Your Eye is another last-time out winner with obvious claims. His jockey today rode him at Newcastle when he was successful there 40 days ago, and with his jockey's claim he must be a danger to the selection. However, this race is tougher than that one in the North East, and given that his trainer was concerned about him staying the trip today, he may just get found out today. Enroblim Trop's second at Towcester looks fair enough, however whilst he is bound to come on for that experience, this drop back in trip doesn't appear to be ideal and he is taken on for the time being. Give Me A Dime and Ouragan Lagrange both looks of interest on their debuts so support for either should be noted, however they both may just be aiming for place money today as we stick with Carl Llewellyn's Kid Charlemagne to make it two from two.
