Kritzia, Compton Falcon, Adage and Blur look the four to concentrate on here and the vote is given to KRITZIA. This filly from the Henry Cecil yard ran well on her handicap debut last time out and she looks to have been found a good opportunity to get her head in front tonight. She has gone well here in the past and as she remains open to plenty of improvement she has a pretty obvious chance. Compton Falcon finished narrowly in front of our selection last time but he has had plenty of chances and we are confident that Kritzia will improve past him today. Adage is well-handicapped on her best form and she didn't have the race run to suit at Wolverhampton when last seen out. She can go well at a price here, while Blur is one to note in the market now that she is stepped-up in trip. Kritzia makes plenty of appeal though and she is taken to get her head in front.
