This is a race that will take little winning and a few of these could improve and are worth checking in the market. These include Oh So Gigolo, Invictus and Final Countdown. The latter pair are of particular interest given their Flat form and the application of headgear. Civil Unrest and MITCD boast more obvious claims given their recent victories. The former had MITCD when building an unassailable lead at Musselburgh where MITCD was behind. The mare has improved since then whilst the Ewart yard have gone quiet again. She beat a well supported horse that day and the third was several lengths adrift. She had a good pace to aim at that day and was delivered with a well timed effort. Conditions are similar here and a follow up is possible.
