Prioryjo has won a couple of hurdle efforts before and Arisea comfortably won last time but our vote goes to BEWERY MAN who comprehensively grabbed the victory over course and distance in April. Although higher in the weights we feel that this Ferdy Murphy gelding can follow up to score again. Bewery Man beat Oh Yah Dancer last time by six lengths and such a comfortable victory combined with a liking for the course leads us to believe this gelding could go on to victory today. Prioryjo has been an improving type since last November when performances took a turn for the better. She only lost narrowly last time here and although 7lbs higher today should provide a challenge. Arisea won here last time towards the end of May and is somewhat harshly treated in the weights as a result. Therefore we choose to watch the James Moffatt trained mare. Planetarium is another previous course and distance winner but has not shown tremendous form since that victory last year. Arctic Rock is in first time blinkers and these may assist whilst Mister Fizzbomb is looking for a first hurdle win. Given the competition we think that Bewery Man can get back-to-back wins.
