Best Profile gets the confident vote here with Alagon and Jaloux d'Estruval rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fourth ion a better race behind Don't Push It last time. He enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and under conditions that suit he is taken to score.Alagon rates the main danger on his best form but he has been very disappointing for no apparent reason of late so he can not be put forward with any confidence. and Jaloux d'Estruval is game and consistent and is another that is sure to like the ground but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Krakow Baba was a fair third behind Piran last time and is another with place claims but he is very one paced at the end of his races and for the winner we return to Best Profile.
