Phar Bleu gets the confident vote here with Contract Dancer and We Got Him rating the main dangers. The selection has the highest official BHB rating and under conditions that suit he need only put in a clear round to score. Contract Dancer rates the main danger he was a fair hurdler at his best and is another that has conditions to suit, he is sure to have been well schooled for this his chasing debut and should be watched in the market. We Got him has place claims on his best form but his overall profile leaves him with plenty to find. Top Dog can not be put forward with any confidence as he has been pulled up in his last three starts and with this in mind, and for the winner, we return to Phar Bleu who is hard to oppose.
