Mister Completely, Medjugorje Message and Staff Nurse are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Mister Completely. The selection was a fair fourth behind Ndola last time out, this looks easier and with the step up in trip sure to suit he looks the value bet in an open affairMedjugorje Message rates the main danger as he won with plenty in hand when well backed last time out. However this looks more competitive and he will need to improve again to defy his penalty. .Staff Nurse has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but the suspicion is she is better over a longer trip. The Plainsman has the highest bhb figures here but his form on the All-Weather leaves him with a little to find and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Mister Completely.
