Verdict
Ouninpohja, Arran Scout and Young Rooney are all well exposed but should be the ones to fight out the finish here, with the first named just getting the vote. The selection has yet to run a bad race this season and put up another solid display when a close up fifth in a Kempton handicap. Back in maiden company today he will be hard to beat. Arran Scout was well beaten at York last time, but if repeating the form he showed previously when chasing home two decent types at Thirsk, he should be in the shake up. Young Rooney could prove best of the four-year-old's, having finished a close up third behind Go Tech over this trip at Redcar. Shares and Queen's Echo may do best of the remainder, but Ouninpohja should be the one to land first prize.
