Possibly the most competitive event on the card, so it is with some trepidation that Jorobaden is selected, ahead of Highland Games and Tempsford. Chris Wall's gelding relished the heavy ground when beating Linens Flame at Kempton earlier this month. If there is any more rain there would be more confidence forthcoming, but nevertheless he still hold strong claims. Highland Games showed plenty of promise on his seasonal return at Musselburgh when second to Toni Alcala, and there should be plenty of improvement to come. Tempsford is the Mark Prescott representative and although well beaten on his first run of this campaign, he was very progressive last term and can take a hand in the finish here. There are many others with chances including the Barry Hills trained Prairie Falcon but for the winner we return to Jorobaden.
