Drumming Party can make the most of the weight that he receives from Buy On The Red, Charlie Delta and The Jay Factor. Drumming Party showed big signs of an imminent return to form at Kempton last month, finishing strongly to get third after being given plenty to do by regular rider Liam Keniry. Hopefully he will have him a bit nearer the speed this time, and the combination is taken to make amends. Buy On The Red gained his latest victory over seven-furlongs at Wolverhampton, and although he has won over today's trip in the past, is worth taking on. Charlie Delta in contrast saw his hat-trick bid foiled at Lingfield when stepped up to a mile, so it is no surprise that connections opt to let him take his chance here. The Jay Factor has cheekpieces on for the first-time in a bid to sharpen him up, and he is another that can figure, but we are keen on the chance of Drumming Party in the finale.
