ISLE OF INISHMORE looks the part here and gets a confident vote. Tim Vaughan's runners are always to be respected at the track, particularly when ridden by Richard Johnson, and this gelding seems to be going the right way having landed a Market Rasen contest last time. He's up 4lbs but the ground should be to his liking and the step up in trip seems sure to suit. He can beat Miss Saffron, a likeable mare with form on bottomless ground but one who may just be in the handicapper's grip at present following her victory two starts back. Cinaman is a stablemate of our pick and looks the second-string on both form and jockey bookings but it's interesting that he's been the subject of support more than once and were it to arrive once more it'd surely pay to take note. Murphys Appeal has done nothing to suggest he can win but is with a shrewd and in-form outfit while Vacario could do better now eased slightly in grade.
