In this wide open event Flying Bantam is taken to beat Majehar, with Paso Doble also fancied to go well if he takes part.Flying Bantam hasn't won for twenty three races and only has two career victories to his name. However he do run well last time and has dropped down to a very fair mark. At the time of writing Paso Doble is down to run on Tuesday and if he takes his chance he will be a major threat. Dean Ivory's gelding has won two of his last three races and hasn't been hit too hard by the handicapper. He is only seven pounds higher following those two victories and does take his racing well. Majehar has been in great form throughout the winter and although in the handicappers grip he should still stay play a major role. The best each-way chance could be Tip Top Style, but our idea of the winner is Flying Bantam.
