Forecasts

Island Nation (6/4), Night Time Girl (4/1), Competition (6/1), Essgee Nics (6/1), Das Kapital (13/2), Bird To Love (14/1), Celtic Classic (14/1), Telekinetic (14/1), Seventii (16/1), Aumerle (50/1), Longville Lilly (100/1), Percy Thrower (100/1)

Verdict

ISLAND NATION showed there are races to be won with him at this trip when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago, so he earns the narrow vote over Wolverhampton-scorer Night Time Girl, who is still unexposed and likely to pose a big threat if seeing out this longer trip. The in-form Competition is another to consider.
