King of Charm gets the narrow vote here with Black Oval and Cool Tiger also considered. The selection hails from a yard in good form and although he finished fourth behind Balerno at Lingfield last time, he was only beaten by a narrow margin. If he runs up to that level here he will be hard to beat. Black Oval is another who wasn't beaten far last time when she chased home Wiltshire over this course and distance. However, she has not won for 56 races now and the percentage call is to take her on. Cool Tiger is a course and distance winner and he should be suited by the drop in distance after racing over 7f on each of his last three starts. Double M is another that goes well here and he could represent the value for each-way players, but King Of Charm remains open to further improvement and gets the vote.
