Nonrunner
Plenty of recent winners in the lineup and the tentative nomination goes to the still-feasibly-weighted Charles Parnell. Bel Cantor holds Word Perfect on their running behind Goodenough Mover last time out, and whilst he is in good form, he looks high enough in the weights at present so is passed over in favour of the selection. Local Poet looks the pick of Ian Semple's pair but will need to bounce back from a poor effort when last seen, and Soto is well handicapped on old form but would prefer more juice under foot. Mozakhraf comes here in good nick but is rising up the weights as a result and needs to step up again although that is not out of the question, whilst course and distance winners Rainbow Fox and Dorn Dancer must be feared. All in all this looks ultra competitive and the most tentative of votes goes to Charles Parnell.
