LOUISIANA GIFT was a little unlucky to clip heels when falling last time out and having shown a decent effort in Handicap Company before this we forgive his latest start and side with him today ahead of Electric City and Magenta Strait. The selection has found assistance from the cheek-pieces before and they are applied again today. Seb Sanders takes the ride and he has an 18% strike-rate at the course which he may be able to add to with this race. Electric City was runner-up at Ayr last time out over a mile and a quarter and it looked like she enjoyed the trip as this was her best effort to date. There are reservations now dropped back to a mile. Magenta Strait was just half a length behind the winner at Nottingham on her last start and this was her best try on the turf so far. With a potentially improved run again today, she could provide the biggest threat to our pick which is Louisiana Gift.
