Verdict
Lake 'o' Gold, Inchinnan and Litron look the three to concentrate in the opener and the tentative vote goes to Lake o' Gold. The selection was a good second behind Reviers moon under similar conditions last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Inchinnan rates the main danger he has been in fair form on the flat of late and is representing a yard that has a good record here do he is worth noting in the market. Litron is another that is worthy of respect he was a fair fourth in his native Ireland behind Vicars Way last time but all his form is on soft ground and it is hard to know how he will cope with this faster surface. Of the remainder Urban Freeway was a fair fourth behind Hutch here on Saturday but he will need to improve on that to score and for the winner we return to Lake 'o' Gold.
