Wee Anthony gets the confident vote here with Green 'n' Gold and Rustic John rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Auntie Kathaleen last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under similar cionditions here he is hard to oppose. Green 'n' Gold rates the main danger on his latest second behind Petit Margot but he is becomming hard to win with. Rustic John is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but is very onepaced. Of the remainder Supreme Leisure is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Wee Anthony who will be hard to beat.
