This is a good opportunity for Pressure Putt to make amends for his near miss at Wolverhampton last week and he is preferred over Siakira and George's Flyer. There may also be more to come from Snake Skin, who is worth noting in the betting. George's Flyer came good here a fortnight ago and is likely to be a popular selection now that he has proved himself capable on his day. However, he has an extra furlong to contend with this afternoon and needs everything to drop just right for him. Siakira was just getting the hang of things towards the end of the turf season and shapes as if she can also pay her way before too long. She should get the trip in this company and is one to bear in mind for future reference. However, Pressure Putt is open to a touch more improvement and has a solid chance to prove why the handicapper has placed him at the top of the ratings at this stage.
