Turn Me On should have won last time and he can gain his compensation here at the main expense of Rainbow Fox and A Big Sky Brewing. Tim Walford has his string in decent form at present and this 5-year-old cruised into the lead at Pontefract last time before being collared on the line by Ours. He could be considered a little unlucky that day and he looks worth sticking with. Rainbow Fox ran well back in third behind Methaaly at Ayr last time and he usually does well at this time of year so he could give our selection the most to think about, although this step-up in trip could work against him. A Big Sky Brewing was far from disgraced behind the progressive Willie Ever at Wolverhampton last time. He doesn't win as often as he should though so his overall strike-rate does rather temper confidence. Stellite is a course and distance winner and he is another that has to be respected, but this looks a good opportunity for Turn Me On who can turn on the style today.
