Grand Passion, Red Spell and Gentleman's Deal are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Grand Passion. The selection was a fair fifth behind Nayir in a better race last time out. The key to his chance today is the drop in trip which looks sure to suit and with his yard in form he looks the one to be on. Red Spell rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Party Boss but he often finds less than expected off the bridle and he may be found wanting at the business end of the race. Gentleman's Deal is another last time out winner that could go well but this represents a step up in class and he looks vulnerable off level weights. Hail The Chief loves this track and could go well at a price but his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. This is a trappy affair and the market will be very informative but for the winner we return to Grand Passion who looks to have plenty going for him.
