This is quite a competitive event for the grade and it may fall to Jungle Lion, All Bleevable, Airgusta and True To Yourself are just three of the dangers. The selection deserves to land a contest of this nature following some sound efforts here recently The pick of his efforts was a four length sixth behind Vanbrugh over this trip last month with some decent enough types behind. a repeat of that effort should be good enough here. All Bleevable has to be a big danger, he returned from a decent spell over hurdles to chase home Stravmoor over course and distance last time and should improve on that effort, he looks booked for the places. True To Yourself is from a top yard and finished just ahead of All Bleevable in that contest and he should be thereabouts again. Airgusta comes here after easily landing a modest event at Wolverhampton and is another to consider for the places, however the first prize her is expected to go to Jungle Lion
