Corrybrough can continue his winning ways at the expense of Tajdeef and Philario. The selection is a vast improver and deserves to take his chance in Listed company. He won a conditions race at Beverley last time out when sent off odds on favourite and he looks well capable of getting his head in front against this higher level of competition. Tajdeef has some cracking from to his name and will be the biggest danger. He has run well in Group one and two races and has been unlucky not to have got his head in front in his last three Listed races when having to settle for second place. He is in danger of becoming frustrating to follow but that said he has been beaten by some tidy sorts so is certainly one for the short list here. Philario was good enough to win a Group Three contest at the back end of last season at Kempton but has failed to live up to expectations this year so it remains to be seen as to whether or not he has trained on as a three year old and is therefore to be treated with caution. So for the winner we return to Corrybrough.
