Verdict

Mr Fluffy has won his last two races in impressive style and despite his double penalty he will be hard to beat with conditions in his favour. Do It On Dani won well last time out but that was over a longer trip and the step back in distance is a slight worry. Totland Bay has also been in good form of late but although he travelled well last time he found disappointingly little off the bridle. Sovereign's Gift could also run into a place if anything happens to the principals.
