Red Society has done little wrong so far and he is difficult to oppose here, although Oracle des Mottes and Rift Valley are expected to give him plenty to think about. The selection won well last time when easily disposing of Teorban. He won with plenty in hand that day, is in great form and he has also won over this course and distance so he looks to have an outstanding chance of getting his head in front again. Oracle des Mottes ran well enough last time when third behind Goldbrook on this track. The jockey lost his whip in that race, but he doesn't look the easiest of rides and on that basis we'll take him on. Rift Valley looked quite useful last season but he is returning from a long absence here and might just be in need of the run. Borehill Joker looks to be the best of the remainder, but we will stick with Red Society as the one they all have to beat.
