A pretty poor bunch here and Bridgewater Boys is chosen to beat Rifleman and Colditz. Kevin Ryan's runner has missed a few recent engagements due to the weather but looks to have been found an easy opportunity here. He chased home the rejuvenated Sawaah at Lingfield last time out and a repeat effort should be good enough today. Rifleman returned to flat with a solid enough effort behind Turn Of Phrase and although he has a little to find on a official ratings he should still be in the shake up. Colditz looked to be coming back to form last time out when fourth to Danalova in a modest event at Redcar and it would be no surprise to see this one involved in the finish. The best of the rest could be recent winner cadeaux Rouge, but the more likely winner is Bridgewater Boys.
