Wilhewispa gets the confident vote here with Aliba and Given A Choice rating the main dangers. The selection has been running well without winning, but a reproduction of his latest second behind Allez Frank sets a fair standard and he looks the one to be on under conditions that suit. Aliba was behind the selection when fourth in the same race last time out and on identical terms here there is no reason why he should gain his revenge. Given A Choice is another worthy of respect as he has been in good form on the flat of late if his stamina lasts out he will be a danger to all but that is a big if. Of the remainder, Zendaro and King of Slane have shown ability in the past but both will be handicapped after this run and that is where there future may lie when stepped up in trip, and with this in mind Wilhewispa is impossible to oppose.
