Henrietta Knight's Orfeo Conti has only gone up 2lbs for his success at Southwell last month but he looked well held that day only for the leader to fall at the last so he is likely to struggle to follow up that win and preference is for ON YOU GO, with Glengarra looking the pick of the remainder. The selection was pulled up before three out on his debut for Jonjo O'Neill at Bangor in May but has run well in both starts since then, latterly when a close second behind Winsley Hill at Worcester and he has solid claims off just a 1lb higher mark today. Tom George's No Complaint has given no sign of encouragement of late and of more interest may be The Rocking Dock. Gordon Elliott's gelding has shown better form in his last two starts and a reproduction of his latest effort will see him go close. The 11-year-old Celtic Boy is not as good as he once was but has run better of late and he has to be considered but a bigger threat is likely to come from Glengarra. David Gandolfo's gelding has won four times since the turn of the year including in good fashion at Worcester last time and he has solid claims off a 7lb higher mark today. The vote though goes to On You Go, who looks to be going the right way, and he is taken to open his account for Jonjo O'Neill.
