Shot To Fame had his first win in almost four years recently at Lingfield and he is selected to make it win number two this season in a weak seller where only a small number make any real appeal. An outside draw is the worry for this pace-setter but the quick surface and the stiff 7f are likely to play to his strengths and he looks the safest option. One More Round is quite flattered by his rating of 87 as he is a horse rapidly on the downgrade. Not the easiest of rides as he has to be delivered late and fast while he does not appear as effective over 7f as 6f. John Llewellyn saddles two with each way chances, they being Mountain Pass and Sweet World. Mountain Pass will certainly be doing his best work in the closing stages. He did not endure the clearest of passages last time at Wolverhampton while Sweet World is a free running sort who often needs things to go his own way. Shot To Fame is the pick to land the seller.
