Press Express, Jordans Elect and Trouble Mountain are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Press Express. The selection ran well when a good second behind Count Kristo at Nottingham last time. He was only just edged out that day and as he has got proven form on a softer surface he looks to have outstanding claims today. Jordans Elect rates the main danger as he ran well enough when second behind Ulysees at Hamilton last time. However, he hasn¿t won a race for nearly two years and for that reason he is hard to put forward with any confidence. Trouble Mountain is interesting as he has his ground conditions today and he is in really good heart at present. He was a good second behind Olimpo last time at Chepstow and he is not one to dismiss lightly. Instructor is a course and distance winner and is another to consider, but for the winner we will stick with Press Express.
