Nonrunner
Magnificent Seven, The Names Bond and Harry Husyan are three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to The Names Bond. The selection looked in need of the run when finishing down the field at Kelso over hurdles last time but he would hold solid claims on the pick of his form and as he should be now fit enough to do himself justice we are happy to nominate him as the one to beat. Magnificent Seven is a course and distance winner and he finished a fair third here last time on his seasonal reaapearance. However, although he goes with cut in the ground, he is better on a faster surface and for that reason we will take him on. Harry Husyan would also have claims on his best form but he is another that has done all his winning on a faster surface. Wise Tale is better than he has shown recently and he could be worth a look for each-way players, but for the winner we are happy to stick with The Names Bond.
