Verdict
Tioman, Kynance Cove and West Aside look the three to concentrate on in this competitive novices handicap and the confident vote goes to Tioman. The selection was a good second under similar conditions behind Gabor last time and he need only reproduce that effort to win this. Kynance Cove rates the main danger he was a fair second behind Winged Lady last time but that was in a seller and this looks tougher. West Aside showed improved form last time out behind Cristophe but that to was in a seller and he will need to improve to defeat the confident selection Tioman.
