Gollinger,Gappersonneldotcom and Fiddlers Creek look the three to concentrate on in this poor seller and the narrow vote is given to Gollinger. The selection won a handicap in good style last time out when beating Seymour Weld, this looks easier and under similar conditions he is hard to oppose. Gappersonneldotcom rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Native Daisy but his stable are badly out of form and he is taken on with this in mind. Fiddlers Creek is another that could go well as he is dropping in grade but he has shown little of late so he cannot be put forward with much confidence. Of the remainder Lion's Domane will make a bold bid to make all while Mycenean Prince is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Gollinger.
