King Of Naples is easily the highest rated here but he's been beaten in two sellers on the track recently and needs a major drop in the ratings though he finished in front of Warrior's Spirit here last time and should do so again. Supreme Power scored at Newcastle and Catterick in the summer and acts on soft ground while Jazzy Girl has been running quite well at a lowly level and it's about time she was losing her maiden tag. Benjamin Thomas would have to be respected if staying the trip though he's never been this far so the vote in a poor contest goes to TOPMEUP. Gay Kelleway's filly completed a Yarmouth double in August and can see off this moderate bunch though Tagur is another dropping in class and is versatile to ground conditions.
