Chervil gets the confident vote in the opener with Benllech and Cherri Fosfate rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth in a better race last time out behind Wild. This looks easier and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Benllech rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Vaunt but he has had plenty of cxhances in similar races without taking one asnd for that reason he is opposed. Cherri Fosfate is another that could go well he won well last time when beating Callisto moon but the fact that connections have already rached for the sheepskin cheekpeices is off putting. Of the remainder Disco Man has won at the track and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Chervil who sets a fair standard and will be hard to beat.
