A modest affair in which Spirit of Coniston, Borzoi Maestro and Orchestration are the three for the shortlist and our selection is for Spirit Of Coniston. The selection drops back in grade following a couple of runs in handicaps and with the stable in good nick at the moment, he could be worth a punt at the likely odds. Borzoi Maestro persists with the blinkers after wearing them for the first time at Wolverhampton. A previous winner over course-and-distance, he has to be respected. Orchestration drops in trip and the visor is reapplied. Henry Tun has ability but is out of form. Estoille is a likely sort for this level although a couple of poor runs have to be overlooked. Amber Glory has struggled of late although does have the benefit of a low draw. Spirit Of Coniston looks to have obvious chances on the book and is the recommendation.
