A very competitive seller with half the field given a chance including the likes of Warlingham, Yamato Pink, Tipo and Jomus and the vote is given to Jomus. Although he has a habit of getting beat, his last three runs proves he has the ability. His most recent run was a touch unlucky when only beaten by a head and he deserves to get his head in front this time. Warlingham was quick enough to win around here over five furlongs last month but was beaten into a long distance second over seven furlongs at Yarmouth last time out so he is to be treated with caution. Tipo ran as if something was amiss last time out so he is another best watched, and Yamato Pink was beaten by Warlingham over the five furlongs last time out and will benefit for the step up in trip. But for the winner we return to Jomus.
