Recent winner Charlottebutterfly can land the odds here at the expense of Beverley Beau and Christian Bendix. The selection runs off the same mark as when winning around here over one fulrong further. He has enough speed though to warrant respect over this shorter trip. He can be a little in and out in his form but on the back of a winning run he is the one they all have to beat. Beverley Beau will pose as the main danger. He showed promise at Lingfield last time out when finishing third to Shava. The problem is he has not got his head infront very often and looks the type to rather finish placed than win his races so is therefore one to treat with caution. Christian Bendix is another who has ability but always keeps something in reserve. His latest run is not good enought o win this but if back to his best then he has a chance. But for the winner we return to Charlottebutterfly.
