Race Overview
ALKUIN (6) has been running well without scoring of late and deserves to get his head in front again. He is a marginal choice ahead of NIGHTDANCE MAN (2) who was a pleasing fifth last time and can have a say despite carrying plenty of weight. STEP MORNING (14) scored last time on the PSF and will be full of confidence after that success. BOB LA BIDOUILLE (7) could fare best of the remainder.
Selection:
6 - 2 - 14
