Verdict

Just 2lb between the top seven on official ratings reflects the tight-knit nature of this modest contest but HALINKA is chosen in the hope that she remains open to more progression than her rivals. She has conveyed the impression the last twice that a step up in trip would prove beneficial and is taken to oblige under a young pilot going places. Scala Regia looks an obvious danger from the Prescott yard which generally places inmates to good effect while Ashazuri has shown enough the last twice to merit a mention. Love And Be Loved improved to score last time and receives weight all round but Tis Wonderful is weighted to get much closer to that one this time around.
