Cybersnow has plenty in his favour and he can get his head in front here at the main expense of Follow On and Nevsky Bridge. The selection has a good draw today and he ran encouragingly last time. He has some solid form in Ireland and with the booking of Robert Winston catching the eye, he could be worth following tonight. Follow On returns to the level after a spell over hurdles, and he would certainly have a decent chance on the pick of his flat form. Similar comments would apply to Martin Todhunter's mare Nevsky Bridge, while Mick Channon's filly Fascinatin Rhythm disappointed on her only other try over this kind of trip. We will therefore stick with Cybersnow to land the prize.
