Verdict
A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading fancies but the principals look to be Toni Alcala, Claradotnet and Magic Combination and we will take a chance on Claradotnet. The selection is on a fair mark and shaped as if returning to form when third behind Magic Sting last time, the step up in trip should also suit and she looks thew value bet. Toni Alcala rates there main danger on his latest second behind Stoop To Conquer. He has won over this trip before and is sure to have the race run to suit. Magic Combination is another worthy of respect he was a fair second behind Vicars Destiny last time but his best form on the flat of late has come over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder the booking of Kevin Darley for Bid For Fame catches the eye so he is worth noting in the market, while Delta Force is from a yard in form and is another with place claims but for the winner we return to Claradotnet.
