Middleton Grey, Ebraam and Kavachi are the three to look at here and Ebraam can lead them home. a winner at Goodwood in August, Kavachi ran well here last time over ten furlongs, finishing a close second. He won over a mile at Goodwood so the trip of seven furlongs here should not inconvenience him and he can go well. Middleton Grey is one of the veterans in the field but he has struck winning form recently with a win over this trip in similar ground at Leicester last time. He had earlier run well to be fourth at Newmarket so was not winning out of turn. He is respected, but some of his younger rivals may be more progressive. Ebraam has shown improved form in his last two starts at Lingfield, finishing a good runner up before scoring impressively last time. He looks to be making very good progress and can follow up here. Ebraam gets the vote.
