CULMINATION has the best form on offer and looks to have a good opportunity. He was caught at the line in testing ground at Sedgefield last month and can go one better in this company. Our Valentina was beaten five lengths when runner-up over track and trip in a similar contest recently and should go well again but it’s hard to make a case for any of the remainder. Well Above Par may do better now hurdling after a modest debut in a bumper but Glittering Love was tailed off on his hurdling bow, though can only improve.
