Verdict

Able Charlie won well last time and looks the percentage call in this seller with Mytton's Dream and Allegretto rated as the main dangers. The selection has proved expensive to follow but he finally got his head in front last time at Yarmouth when beating Monkstown Road, and now that his confidence has been boosted he may be capable of scoring again. That recent win was quite a cosy success and with conditions again to suit today he looks the one to be with. Mytton's Dream is eased in grade after disappointing in a handicap last time, and this filly has to be respected but she has had plenty of chances and she may find a couple too good. Allegretto has shown some promise but he will need to improve to get competitive. However, this colt is lightly-raced and there may be more to come. Al Alba is from a top yard but her best form is on a soft surface and for the winner we will stick with Able Charlie.
