From a shortlist containing High Life, Dandygrey Russett and Single Handed, we will side with High Life. Chapel Wood Lady's fourth behind The Entomologist was a reasonable effort, butu Dandygrey Russett's course and distance second to Blythe Knight last time is even better and he is one to seriously consider today. As is High Life, who was beaten a head by Maggie Mathias in a bumper on his sole run to date. Of the others, Henry Daly's Single Handed has shown promise in bumpers and one hurdling effort but, for the selection, we return to High Life.
