Verdict
Armentieres, Bargain Hunt and Purr look the three to concentrate on in this seller and the confident vote goes to Armentieres. The selection was a good second behind Reflex Blue in a handicap last time out this represents a big drop in grade and need only run up to that mark to score. Bargain Hunt rates the main danger on his best form but that has been over a longer trip so the drop in distance is not sure to suit and for that reason he is opposed. Purr is another that could go well on his third in a seller behind Double Ewe Bee a couple of runs ago he is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market. Of the remainder My Sunshine showed a modicum of ability on the flat but is a doubtful stayer and for the winner we return to Armentieres.
