Verdict

Sir Ernest has an obvious chance in this grade and is preferred to Arfinnit and Innclassic. The selection is well treated on official BHB ratings and a reproduction of the form shown when chasing home Champagne Cracker at Haydock at the beginning of the month should suffice. Mick Channon's Arfinnit faces no easy task giving weight away all round and a bigger threat may come from Brian Meehan's Innclassic, if the three-year-old can run up to the form that she showed on the all-weather last time. Chris Dwyer's Who's Winning has shown signs of ability, while Mouseman is entitled to improve for his recent reappearance. However, Sir Ernest is well in at the weights and gets the vote.
