A desperate maiden handicap here but something has to win and the principals look to be Regent's Park,Conservation and Mortarboard and the tentative vote is given to Regent's Park. The selection was a fair third in a better race behind Candle last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off what remains a fair mark he looks the one to be on. Conservation rates the main danger on his latest second behind Abstract Art especially as this longer trip looks sure to suit. Mortarboard is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind King Of Argos but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually archived. Storm of Arabia was a fair second behind Bobs Your Uncle last time and could go well at am price while On Air is from a yard in form and is another to note in the market but for the winner we are happy to return to Regent's Park to small stakes.
