It's Music gets the confident vote to send favourite backers home happy with Fishki's Lad and Only Words rating the main dangers. The selection won with plenty in hand when beating Follow The Bear in a novices' hurdle last time. He enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and need only run up to that form to score. Fishki's Lad rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind A Few Bob Back, especially as this shorter trip looks sure to suit. Only Words is another that could go well as he has dropped to a handy mark and ran as if ready to return to form when third behind Jaccout last time out. However that form has since been let down so he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder, Putup Or Shutup is from a yard that is beginning to hit form and should be noted in the market, but in a tough race to call, for the winner we return to It's Music
