Conditions (forecast easy ground) are a worry for any number of these runners, with only
MAVERICK OFFICER and the more recently disappointing
Picture No Sound holding any previous UK form on good to soft or soft ground. Therefore, we'll keep things relatively simple and side with the David Simcock-trained horse. Both he and
Ulshaw Bridge have shown improvement since meeting at Haydock in June and from identical weights today (neck apart) would be tough to split - but for the ground conditions.
Mystic Flight is another progressive type to consider if he fully adapts to the cut underfoot, whilst
Pettifogger makes his first appearance in England.
