This is a wide open event to close the card and from a shortlist of NINTH HOUSE, Teasing and Augustus John we will side with Ninth House. The selection is sure to be a nice price and he makes plenty of appeal. He has got course and distance winning form and he has got the best of the draw. He produced his best performance for a while last time when he showed enough to make him of interest today. Teasing finished second behind Vine Street at Great Leighs but she was perhaps a little flattered by her proximity to the winner that day and we are happy to take her on. There is probably a race to be won with Augustus John but he is far from reliable and his high draw will make life tough. Prince Golan won well last time out when he beat Hucking Heat, so if he run well in the previous race then it will give the form a boost. This bunch are not to be relied upon but Ninth House could provide some value if he can build on his promising effort last time.
