Die Fledermaus, Dunster Castle and Spread the Word are all on the shortlist, but Die Fledermaus gets the confident vote. The selection ran well behind Primitive Way at Hexham last time and a reproduction of that effort will see him hard to beat here. He has been running consistently well all season, and although he is steadily rising in the weights, he may still be capable of taking this. Dunster Castle was disappointing last time but had previously run really well from the front to beat Elenas River at Fontwell, and he could be the one to give our selection the most to do. Spread the Word looks the best of the rest but he was predictably outclassed behind Misty Future last time. Not too many of these look good enough to get competitive, so Die Fledermaus gets the vote.
