It could be best to stick with horses in form here so ones to bear in mind are Phred, Night Kiss, Kindlelight Debut and Expresso Time with preference going to the topweight Phred. The selection took advantage of a good draw last time out to score by three lengths at Windsor. Up six pounds for that victory he may still have more improvement to come and his confidence will be sky high. Night Kiss was a beaten favourite last time out but there were excuses - the main one being she ran to post too freely. If she settles better today she could run the selection close. Kindlelight Debut did little wrong last time out and was just beaten by a better horse. More luck here and she should go close. Expresso Time surprised a few last time out at Pontefract and shaped that day as though a step up in trip would help. He needs to improve at these weights to go close but if he does he should run a good race.
