Verdict
A tight affair here with not much between many of the runners. The TEAMtalk selection is Elvis Reigns he is from a yard beginning to hit top form and he was a fair fifth at Carlisle behind Harlov last time out a reproduction of that form will see him go close. Log On Intersky rates the main danger he was a good winner at Carlisle last time when defeating Hard Lines and despite his rise in the weights he is an improving horse who will go on the ground. Damien's Choice is well weighted on his best form and he will like the ground but he has been blighted by jumping problems of late. Dingo Dancer won well over this course and distance last time out when defeating Grouse Hall in game fashion but he has never won off a mark this high. Night Fighter is another to consider he is game and consistent but this 13-year-old looked in the handicappers grip last time out when third behind Corletto at Market Rasen. The remainder need to improve on there latest form to take a hand in the finish.
