This is not a race for high stakes but Taffrail, Revelino and Floranz are sure to have their supporters and we will side with Taffrail. The selection has proved to be a touch disappointing for his supporters, but he ran with plenty of credit when third behind Gan Eagla over this course and distance last time, and that run would certainly give him a great chance of getting his head in front here. Revelino ran well when second behind Aliduros at Worcester last time, but he struggled to see out the 2m trip that day and over this longer distance he is clearly opposable. Floranz could therefore give our selection most to do as he ran well when second behind Aliduros over today's trip last time, and there may be more to come from this lightly-raced mare. He's A Leader is from an in-form yard so is worth noting in the market, but we will stick with Taffrail as our idea of the winner.
