With the stalls being on the inside of the track it could pay to stick with those drawn low; with the back-to-form Rafters Music edging the vote over Multahab and Bahamian Belle, who make the most appeal out of the remainder on that side. Whereas Catch The Cat, Savile's Delight and Dunn Deal will all be of interest if the market indicates that being on the stands' side will not negate their chances. However, Rafters Music finds himself on a very handy mark at present and, having already proved that he still retains plenty of enthusiasm with a good effort in defeat at Doncaster, he is worth chancing today. The cut in the ground will not be a problem for the nine-year-old and, considering that he is 7lb lower than his last winning mark on turf, he has been given a real chance to shine by the handicapper at the moment. Catch The Cat is near the top of his game and is worth throwing into the mix for those willing to play with one from each side of the draw. However, as Rafters Music is probably going to be available at the more attractive odds, he gets the vote.
