Lahib The Fifth gets the confident vote here with Cream Cracker and Hilltime rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Supply And Fix last time out, that form has since being franked and off the same mark he looks the one to be on. Cream Cracker rates the main danger on his latest second behind Barton Flower but he lacks the scope of the selection and foor that reason he is opposed. Hilltime is another that could go well as he has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price bnut all his best form is on fast ground and he is taken on with this in mind. Of the remainder Moorlaw is another that looks weighted up to his besdt and for the winner we return to Lahib The Fifth.
