Mystic Man, Endless Summer and Ballybunion catch the eye here and Mystic Man is the selection. Endless Summer is without a win this year but has come crashing down the handicap as a result. This is his best opportunity for some time and he can put in an improved effort. Ballybunion is an interesting contender. He won at Catterick and Chepstow recently and is game and consistent. The handicapper may not have caught up with him yet and he has run well at the track. Mystic Man has had a good year and is another who goes well here. He won at the track three outings ago and was placed here on his next start before disappointing at Musselburgh last time. He can show here that he can resume winning ways: Mystic Man can reward his followers.
