Fyodor gets the vote here with Amira and Millinsky rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Golden Asha last time out. He is sure to strip fitter here as that was his first run of the season and given nominal improvement he will be hard to beat. Amira rates the main danger on his latest third behind My Rascal but he was doing all his best work at the finish on that occasion so the drop in trip has to be of concern.Millinsky is another worthy of respect as she won well last time out when beating The Leather Wedge, but she has a penalty for that win and that may just find her out. Strensall goes particularly well at the track and could go well at a price but he has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder, Pretty Kool is from a yard in form and if the first time tongue strap has the desired effect he is another that will not be far away. However, we are quite happy to return to Fyodor who looks sure to improve and is given the vote.
