Ceresfield, Glengarra, Deep King and Tarongo should all go well here but we will side with Jericho III. The selection appeared to be going as well as anything until running out at the elbow at Kelso last time. He remains on a fair mark and with conditions to suit he looks the one to beat. Ceresfield ran well enough behind Lord Of The Hill at Aintree last time but she is an unpredictable sort and the percentage call is to oppose her. Glengarra was a close second behind Alleged Slave on this track last time and as he is still steadily improving he could be capable of a big run. Deep King is running well at present so is another that could make the frame, while Tarongo is dropped in trip here which might not necessarily help. This is a competitive race which is not easy for punters to call, but Jericho III looked like a winner waiting to happen last time out and he is taken to score.
