Addikt is the selection in this finale with Muharjam and Kiho the dangers. Ground appears not to present too many problems to Addikt, who won last time out with a degree of authority. That form could be pretty strong on balance and we will take him to defy a penalty. Muharjam put up a real eyecatcher at Windsor on bottomless going to chase home Penchesco. It will be interesting to see how he copes on tonight's surface. Kiho is less exposed than most. Eve Johnson Houghton had a welcome winner at the weekend and he cannot be dismissed too lightly. Grey Command is worth another step up in trip. Timbalier plugged on over this trip at Nottingham into the places. He may need a little more help from the handicapper. John Potts returns to the turf having raced exclusively on the artificial surfaces for some time. Isle Of Capri was easy to back in three maidens and is one to note in the market on handicap introduction. Addikt looks to have plenty in his favour tonight and it would be a disappointment were he not capable of following up a recent win.
