Ed McMahon's Now Look Out created a favourable impression when making a winning debut at Nottingham earlier this month over five furlongs and has to be respected but the longer trip is an unknown quantity and he would not appear to be particularly well treated so a safer bet looks to be Ebn Reem, with Swift Cut rated the best of the rest. The selection has to give weight away all round but has been running consistently well off similar marks and is entitled to be thereabouts again on ground that clearly suits. Danehillsundance should be similarly well treated by the underfoot conditions but is hard to back with confidence on his first start in this grade, while Style Sunday is becoming frustrating but may do better now that he is handicapped. Fish Called Johnny has claims on the pick of his form but has disappointed of late and of more interest may be Swift Cut, especially if the market speaks in his favour. Ebn Reem has solid claims though and he is taken to give weight away all round.
