Jonjo O'Neill hasn't had the best of times in recent weeks but Intersky Music gets the vote here ahead of Mad Professor and Gallant Hero. One winner from 19 runners up until Tuesday is not the run of a stable in form but looking at the rest of the field Intersky Music should oblige. he wasn't beaten far in a stronger race at Perth last time out and should do even better on this faster ground. Mad Professor looks to be the main threat having chased home King's Jester at Cartmel last month. Ground and trip are ideal and it is hard to see this one out of the places. Gallant Hero was also runner up last time out in a conditional riders event at Stratford. He may find this a little tougher but should still be involved in the finish. Armoury House is another in with a squeak on the pick of last season's form, but it is a hard to get away from the chances of Intersky Music and he gets the decision.
