5/4

Fairly useful gelding. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. 11/4, below form eighth of 22 in maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) 13 days ago. Obvious claims if shrugging off latest effort.

PLEZANTLYSURPRISED looks to have more to offer so he gets the nod at the chief expense of Mickey The Steel, who has the best form on offer but needs to shrug off a below-par showing at the Curragh. Simba Power is another with the form to have a say if back on song.
