Lever Up is our selection, heading this nine-strong field on our figures at 71 on the back of a string of solid placed efforts, headlined by a third last time out. Bradbury (70) is the most obvious danger following back-to-back wins, while Kitsune Power (66) and Dr Rio (64) both retain fair recent form of their own. Confidence is only medium given how tightly this leading group is packed on figures, but Lever Up's placed consistency and leading figure get the vote.
BRADBURY has strong claims of making it three wins from three and is probably still ahead of his current mark. However, this is his first time in handicap company, and I have a feeling MELTING SNOW may be slightly better than this grade of race. Looking at the early betting forecasts, Melting Snow appears to offer the better value and gets the win selection.
