TRULY FRUITFUL is a tentative selection to land this ahead of Share My Dream and Karasacal. The selection did take a nasty falling when looking booked to fill the placings at Southwell last time and remains on a mark that he should be capable of scoring from although he is relatively one paced. Share My Dream was strongly supported to land a lady riders' contest last time finding one too good in the end. His best form is with a slight ease in the ground so if any of the forecast rain arrives his chances will be improved significantly. Gun Smith takes a significant drop in trip having been disappointing over further while Classic Role, who is more exposed than most would have claims on snippets of his form. Truly Fruitful is given the nomination to land it.
