In depth
Verdict
Diamond Orchid, Reseda and Moustique de L'Isle are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters but the vote goes to Reseda. The selection was a good third behind Pole Star last time out. He looks sure to have come on for the run and with the step up in trip sure to suit he is taken to score. Diamond Orchid rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Irish Legend put he has another penalty for that win and that may just find him out. Moustique de L'Isle is another worthy of respect on his best bumper form but he was disappointing on his hurdling debut and will need to improve. Of the remainder Treybor represents top connections and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Reseda.
