New York Oscar was a convincing winner last time and he can get the better of the likes of Hereford Boy and Osiris Way. The selection was good value for his winning margin here last time and he can defy a penalty on a track that he clearly enjoys. The drop in trip will not be a problem and the booking of Seb Sanders in the plate is a big plus. Hereford Boy has to rate as a danger as he won well over this course and distance last time and his penalty should not stop him getting competitive again. Osiris Way lost no caste in defeat here last time and he should be sharper for the outing as he was returning from a break that day. Texas Gold has gone well here in the past and he is another with claims, although he has been a little disappointing of late. New York Oscar arrives here in good heart and can win again.
