Ignition, Epicurean and Orlar are the shortlisted trio in this handicap to round off the card and the vote is given to Ignition. The selection recorded a game success at Epsom last time when beating Easy Feeling. She is again likely to try and make-all today and with conditions to suit she looks the percentage call in an open contest. Epicurean was a fair third behind Dream Tonic at Thirsk last time over 1m on only her second start. However, she gave the impression that a drop back to 7f would suit so the step-up to 1m2f is not necessarily sure to play to her strengths. Orlar looked a little one-paced at Wolverhampton last time and her best form to date has been on the all-weather, so we are happy to oppose her on the turf this afternoon. Arnprior ran with some promise when tackling this trip for the first time on his latest run so he is worth noting in the market. However, for the winner we will stick with Ignition.
