CATIVO CAVALLINO looks a stand-out bet and he is taken to get the better of King of Defence and Idle Power. The selection beat Rosie Says No by a head last time over 6f here. That win should have given him a big confidence boost as it was his first success for nearly two years and with the draw and longer trip to suit here he makes plenty of appeal. King Of Defence could be the fly in the ointment as he remains unexposed and he lost no caste in defeat behind Finnegan McCool at Lingfield earlier in the month. Idle Power has been a little disappointing on the all-weather so far but he has been thereabouts on three of his last four runs and with that in mind he can't be confidently ruled out. Lindy Hop was returning from a lengthy break last time so she should strip fitter here, but she is probably better served by a longer trip and we will stick with Cativo Cavallino as the pick.
