CHARM SCHOOL may come out on top in a race where Red Somerset, Mangham, Axiom and Danehillsundance are just four more that make some appeal. Red Somerset will be suited by the return to racing over a mile and has enjoyed a thoroughly consistent season. He'll be helped by his pilot's claim as he's probably high enough in the weights as may Mangham be following his win at Pontefract. Axiom has been a little disappointing of late but he may just have needed his latest run as it was his first following a short break and it would be dangerous to dismiss him as it would Mr Hichens. Danehillsundance is feared most however as he was the subject of a sustained gamble last time only to meet trouble in running at Wolverhampton. He'll be fancied to make amends but the selection is also worth another chance having met interference at Lingfield when mounting a challenge. He's been made favourite on each of his three starts and is clearly quite well thought of and Charm School is taken to live up to those expectations.
