Verdict

Macorville is in cracking form and gets the vote here with Corran Ard and Day To Remember the pair taken to chase him home. The selection is clearly on the upgrade and he won well last time at Haydock when beating Rawdon. That was on heavy ground but he is equally at home on a faster surface and we think he can complete the hat-trick. Corran Ard is another chasing the hat-trick but he was all-out to score at Sandown last time when he beat Wellington Hall and he might just be worth taking on today. Day To Remember ran well at The Curragh last time but he is probably at his best on easier ground and for that reason we will take him on. Go Tech is a course and distance winner who is on a handy mark and he course won this last year, but we are happy to stick with Macorville to lead them home.
