The Gaikwar won well last time and is given the tentative vote today over Follow My Lead and Willhego who rate as the main dangers. The selection overcame a slow start to win last time out and although he has a 6lbs penalty for that win, he gave the impression that day that he would be capable of following-up. Follow My Lead finished third behind Gone Fishing at Windsor last time and that run would give her a leading chance here. However, Gone Fishing let the form down earlier this week by running very disappointingly at Pontefract. Willhego benefited from a drop back to this trip last time when a good second behind Everest, but again that rival has since run disappointingly to let the form down. Willhego looks to have decent place prospects but he has only managed to get his head in front once and on that basis he makes limited appeal. Divinsky would have claims on the pick of his form and he is from a shrewd yard so is worth noting in the market. But in a moderate contest the game and consistent The Gaikwar looks the safest option.
