Spanish Point, Kings Linen and High Rank look the three to concentrate on in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Spanish Point. The selection won a point in good style last time out when beating Master Alf, that form looks rock solid and under conditions thsat suit he is hard to oppose. King's Linen rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Young Rocky but all his best form is over a longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. High Rank is another last time out winner that could go well but he is prone to breaking blood vessels and with this in mind he is taken on. Of the remainder Peppershot is progressive but was let down by his jumping over regulation fences last time and with this in mind for the winner we return to Spanish Point.
