Fibre Optics gets the vote here with Civil Gent and Sissinghurst Storm rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Super Road Train and although having a penalty for that win he looks a progressive type and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Civil Gent rates the main danger but he was behind the selection last time and although better off at the weights he still has a little to find. Sissinghurst Storm is another that could go well on his best form he will not mind the rain but he still looks in the handicappers grip. Of the remainder Mollycarrsbrekfast has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to the progressive Fiber Optics.
