Nae Bother At All, It's A Roofer and Harry Flashman are three against the field in this competitive affair and the vote is given to Nae Bother At All. The selection won well last time out when beating Double Deputy. That horse has since franked the form and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. It's A Roofer rates the main danger as he beat Hardybuck in facile fashion last time out. However he looks sure to be taken on for the lead here and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Harry Flashman is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable under top weight. Of the remainder Pro Dancer has the ability to go close off this sort of mark but is hard to win with. He's A Hotshot is from a shrewd Irish yard and could improve for the fitting of first time tongue tie and blinkers so should be watched in the market, but for the winner we are happy to return to Nae Bother At All
