In depth
Verdict
Born West, Let It Be and Vice Admiral are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Let It Be. The selection is a course and distance winner and she ran well when second to a progressive type in Double Banded last time out. She has ground conditions to suit and she looks a solid bet. Born West was a fair fourth behind Silver Mitzva last time but he does not look the most genuine and he is one to have reservations about. Vice Admiral finished in mid-division at York last time but his best form is over further so he is probably best watched. Dansimar has been running consistently well and she will be suited by the drop in trip as she failed to get home last time over 2m. A tricky race this but the vote is given to Let It Be.
