In depth
Verdict
Some familiar names here and Beauvrai is a speculative choice, to beat Loughlorien and Trinculo. The selection has been placed well by his shrewd handler to land two similar races to this back in August. He wasn't disgraced in a handicap at Chester last time off a mark of 77 and looks the best proposition here. Loughlorien has a little bit to find on official ratings, but did put up a solid performance last time when second to On The Trail over the six furlong trip here. Trinculo has been rated as high as 108 in the past, and he showed he was no back number when a close up fifth behind Hout Bay at Ayr last time, he could go well at a nice price. Of the others Blueberry Rhyme is capable of taking a hand in the finish, however Beauvrai is the most consistent in the field and gets the verdict.
