Wee Charlie Castle gets the confident vote to win this claimer with Conciliate and Lazzoom rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Young Flavio last time out. The drop in trip looks sure to suit and he has plenty in hand on official bhb figures so will be hard to beat. Conciliate rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind John Claude but that form has since been let down so he is passed over on his occasion. Lazzoom is another worthy of respect on his win over Champagne Moment but that was in a seller and he will do well to win this off this mark as he would be better off in a handicap with some of his rivals. Of the remainder Caan is from a yard in form and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to Wee Charlie Castle who will be hard to beat.
