Attorney has had a little break since landing a four-timer and is given the vote here, with Petardias Magic and Xpres Digital looking the main rivals. The selection has improved leaps and bounds this season and still looks on a fair mark. On his latest run last month he had to work hard to beat Park Aux Boules, but he had previously trotted up from a decent type. He may have just been feeling his racing and that is why he was given time off. If reproducing his best today he will be hard to beat. Petardias Magic has returned to form with two decent efforts recently and has to be considered for place purposes off today's mark. Meanwhile Xpres Digital has to given a squeak following his recent course and distance victory. Winthorpe is one that has been knocking on the door recently and may prove best of the remainder, but Attorney may still be one step ahead of the handicapper and is a confident choice.
