Seven No Trumps comes here off the back of a couple of good runs and can take this opener at the expense of Cool Sands and Desert Dust. The selection was seen to good effect at Chepstow on his penutimate start and ran with credit to finish third at Hamilton last time out. Running off a seven pound higher mark should not pose a problem to Milton Bradleys charge as he was rated as high as eighty a couple of years ago. The main danger will be Cool Sands who has already been in the winners enclosure on four separate occasions this year albit on the all weather. If transforming that same level of form he has to be a threat to the selection. Desert Dust has only won once in twenty two outings and cant be relied upon to score but he has run well over course and distance so has to be respected as an eachway prospect but for the winner we return to Seven No Trumps as the likely winner.
