Sunday City, Wee Dinns and Fox Point look the most likely contenders with the vote going to the last named. Having come over from Ireland Fox Point won first time up at Newcastle before putting up some decent performances in defeat most recently at Huntingdon. That looks the best form on offer here and if repeating that effort he can win once more. Wee Dinns was rated in the eighties on the flat and has performed well over hurdles lately. He has been consistent and managed to score last time out at Stratford. Having said that he doesn¿t win often and that puts us off. Sunday City had great form mid winter but that has tailed off lately and again he needs to be back to his best to win here so for the winner we return to Fox Point.
