In depth
Verdict
Albastrine is well bred and looks the pick here with Duo Leoni and Wainwright the ones most likely to chase our selection home. Albastrine found trouble in running last time at Newcastle but had previously ran well to finish second behind Musawah at Brighton. A reproduction of that effort should be good enough here. Duo Leoni represents the main danger and just failed behind Blunham on this track a couple of weeks ago. We expect the Rafe Beckett charge to again go well today, along with Wainwright who has had a long break off the track but had shown form behind Fantastic Love back in April. Wainwright may need the run here so we are happy to take a chance on Albastrine who looks to have the most solid credentials.
