Notre Cyborg gets the confident vote here with Wilhewispa and King Cyrus rating the main dangers. The selection won in facile fashion last time out when beating Star of Canterbury and although having a double penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and he is hard to oppose. Willhewispa rates the main danger on his latest second behind Summer Lodge but he has already given the impression he would be suited by a longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. King Cyrus is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Kilrossanty. He could improve for the fitting of a first time tongue tie and he should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Andijan won a seller in good style last time out when beating Mister Fizzbomb but this looks tougher and he looks vulnerable under his penalty and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Notre Cyborg.
