Charlie Delta is the confident selection in the finale with Prospect Court and Wassfa appearing the dangers. The selection is likely to have gained plenty of confidence for his run in selling grade and with Jack Mitchell taking off 7lbs, there is a lot to like about him in a race that lacks much depth. Prospect Court won on soft ground at Newcastle on a final start of the 2006 campaign. The market will give us an obvious indication as to how far forward he is in his work this time around. Wassfa appears to have struggled to find his trip and is searching for a maiden success after 16 outings. Middle Eastern has ran well here in the past and is sure to give a good account of himself. Jellytot is not an easy ride by any stretch of the imagination but still has ability if the rider is able to exploit it. Ceredig steps up in trip following a barren spell over shorter. Divine White had bits and pieces of form for Amanda Perrett and is watched in the market. Charlie Delta looks to have plenty of ticks in the right boxes and is taken to score.
