Hidden Concept and Take the Mountain looks the speed.
Pace solid with Take The Mountain and Gold Dancer leading the way. SOMETHING SHOCKING bombed the start fresh up but improved sharply latest to finish runner up. Fitter again and will go close here. UNBRIDLED POWER resumed with a good run at Scone, tipped out by a nose. Smaller field here and with the claim and a good draw will be hard to toss. TAKE THE MOUNTAIN is racing well including a last start win. Has a claim as well and can go on with it. HEBRIDES MANEUVER is fitter for two runs back and is ready to show best while GOLD DANCER has been thereabouts and cannot be discounted here. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Something Shocking and will play the selections in trifectas.
