St Killans Run, Bob's Dream and Paddy's Unyoke catch the eye here with St Killans Run looking the safest proposition in a tricky affair. Paddys Unyoke has shown improved form recently, finishing runner-up on his last two starts. He seems well treated and could well lose his maiden tag soon, but he is opposed here. Bob's Dream won here two outings ago, before being outpaced last time. He has been dropped in the ratings slightly, and despite top weight he cannot be ruled out. St Killan's Run has been raised 8lbs for an impressive win at Newcastle recently, but that was an improved effort, and St Killan's Run can make it two wins on the bounce.
