Verdict
Self Respect gets the confident vote here with Mcqueen and Zumrah rating the main dangers. The selection was a good third behind Lead On last time out, that fiorm looks rock solid in the context of this race and with the step up in trip also likely to bring about improvement he looks the one to be on.Zumrah rates the main danger on his latest third behind Lucky Do but the suspicion is he may need the run after a 283 day abcence. Mcqueen is another that could go well on her best form but all her best efforts have come on a softer surface and the suspicion is she will be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the remainder That Man Fox is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but on official bhb figures he has plenty to find with the selection which is Self Respect.
