In depth
Verdict
The two to look out for here are Thebestisyettocome and Cup Of Love with the vote going to the last named. A winner twice in his last three starts Cup Of Love looks a horse on the upgrade and one to stay on the right side of. His latest victory looked very impressive when beating Zalkani by an easy two lengths at Folkestone. The handicapper has taken note but this is a weak affair so he will take all the beating. Thebestisyettocome is his biggest rival and he showed signs of ability when scoring at Lingfield last time out when getting the better of Missie Baileys. That was not the best of races though and improvement is still needed here. Of the others Jenna Stannis looks the most interesting as this is a drop in grade and any market support should be noted. But for the winner we return to Cup Of Love.
