A winner here over the extended mile last time, Fasylitator is just as effective over this shorter trip and Jamie Osborne's colt is preferred to Tyrone Sam and Keep Me Warm. The last mentioned is less exposed than many of these and trainer Bill Turner's runners in this grade always warrant respect. He is closely matched with Mothecombe Dream on running behind Llamadas here last month. The David Nicholls-trained Exit Smiling is another with claims on the pick of his form, while Moon Mischief receives weight all round. A bigger threat is likely to come from Tyrone Sam at the other end of the weights. Kevin Ryan's gelding has run well at Southwell on his last two starts in similar grade and having shown that he handles this surface just as well is entitled to be thereabouts. The vote though goes to Fasylitator who is a consistent performer and need only reproduce his last time out form to win this.
