Verdict
Rollo is given the confident nomination here with Keepers Mead and Joshua's Bay the others for the shortlist. The selection ran well last time when second behind Idle Talk at Chepstow and with his stable in good form and the useful Paddy Brennan in the plate then he should go well. Keepers Mead was a good second on his seasonal reappearance behind Jonanaud and with the step up in trip in his favour here he could be the one to give our selection the most to do. Joshua's Bay is another that will be suited by the step up in trip but he looks to be a little high in the weights at present so he is probably worth taking on. Prince Highlight failed to complete last time so is another that can't be backed with any confidence and for the winner we return to Rollo.
