Not a race to get carried away with here as there are some inconsistent sorts around, however Pegasus Prince won with a bit in hand last time out and he gets the vote to win again at the main expense of Bethanys Boy. The selection was a convincing winner over this course and distance when last seen earlier this month, and Julie Camacho's improving four-year-old is fancied to overcome a 5lb rise in the weights. If there is not a decent pace, which would not suit the selection, then it may pay to side with Bethanys Boy who can get worked up before his races but if he puts his best foot forward then he should be on the premises. West End Lad appreciate the first-time blinkers when scoring over a mile recently, however he reverts to the cheek-pieces again and that, coupled with his failure to stay this trip in the past, means that we can take him on. Sky But N Ben has the ability but isn't one to trust implicitly, whilst Brastoir Jelois tends to set himself too much to do. Ja Myford needs watching in the betting as he returns from a break, however it is Pegasus Prince who can land the odds.
