This looks a good opportunity for EBRAAM to follow up his recent victory at Lingfield. He comes out best at the weights and Dancing Freddy looks held. Avonvalley and Monte Major have not been at their best of late but have been successful at this level before and a better effort from both here would be no surprise. Efistorm has been disappointing since returning to the all-weather and the Milton Bradley-trained duo of Bluebok and The Tatling are both enduring long losing runs.
