Verdict

It is hard to get away from the chance of Johnny Alljays, who is taken to beat Zeloso and The Beduth Navi. The selection has hit a rich vein of form landing victories at Southwell and Wolverhampton. He was particularly impressive last time when easily beating Frontlinefinancier and the hat-trick looks a distinct possibility. Zeloso can also boast a couple of victories this year, and wasn't disgraced last time out when third to Quel Fontenaiiles at Lingfield, another big run can be expected. The Beduth Navi should also be capable of reaching the frame having shown improved form last time to chase home Reggae Rhythm. Best of the remainder could prove to be Shotley Dancer, but on this occasion we will give our vote to Johnny Alljays.
