Babcary gets the confident vote here with Just Logic and Westport rating the main dangers. The selection was a good third behind Direct Debit last time out he is sure to have come on for the run and given nominal improvement he will be hard to beat. Just Logic rates the main danger as he is a well bred colt by Desert Prince and hails from a yard that can ready a newcomer but they have not been on form of late and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Westport is another from a top yard that could go well but he has been done no favours by the draw and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Babcary who at least has experience on his side.
