Verdict
Archias and Tiger Frog are sure to be popular here but we will take a chance on Antony Ebeneezer who is given the narrow vote. The selection was a little disappointing last time at Stratford behind Power Unit, but his previous third over hurdles at Newbury behind Wakeup Smiling would make him very interesting here. He is dropped in grade and with conditions to suit looks to have a great chance. Archias won well over this course and distance last time and he looks to be progressing the right way, so he could be capable of another bold bid despite a penalty. Tiger Frog ran badly for no apparent reason at Market Rasen last time, but his previous win at Sedgefield would make him very competitive. Of the remainder, Mister Chisum is on a fair mark and could go well if the market speaks in his favour, but for the winner we return to Antony Ebeneezer.
