Poetic Rhythm (4/1), Coo Star Sivola (9/2), Sumkindofking (5/1), Dashing Oscar (5/1), Pingshou (6/1), Minotaur (8/1), Baden (9/1), Report To Base (10/1), Joe Farrell (14/1), Steel Bob (16/1), Cheltenam De Vaige (150/1)
Pingshou has already beaten a couple of these over shorter in early December and his chance is an obvious one here especially as he hails from a yard that can do little wrong at the moment. However, he does have to give weight away around to all bar one of his rivals here and that may just tip the scales in their favour. COO STAR SIVOLA is the obvious one to take advantage if he can repeat his Fred Winter third or his second in the Persian War, both of those pieces of form would be good enough to take this. Report To Base looks a useful type despite his defeat last time out and he should be kept onside here along with Sumkindofkingand Poetic Rhythm; both of whom have room for improvement after leaving the impression better was to come last time out.
1. Coo Star Sivola
2. Report To Base
