Cummiskey gets the vote here with Zorn and Wessex rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Speed Dial Harry last time out when unlucky in running and with the return to this shorter trip sure to suit he looks the one to be on. Zorn rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Doctor Dennis he remains on a fair mark and from a good draw he will not be far away. Wessex is another that could go well on his latest second behind Speed Dial Harry but he is creeping up the weights without winning and looks opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Moayed is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks to have plenty of weight and for the winner we return to Cummiskey.
