Verdict
A poor race that can go to Ambersong, who is expected to confirm recent form with Miss Woodpigeon and also cope with the challenge presented by Cosi Fan Tutte, who has claims at this level but is not the most reliable of performers. Relative Hero ran his best race for some time when chasing home Zeis in a claimer at Leicester three weeks ago and also has to be considered as capable of at least reaching the frame. However, the first time visor smacks more of desperation than confidence and he is far from certain to give his all in spite of his apparent well being at the moment. Therefore it may be prudent give Ambersong the benefit of the doubt as he bids to follow up his Windsor success from last month. The fact that he hails from a yard that can keep them sweet when they hit form at this level is an obvious plus and it has to be noted that Ambersong will not have to better his most recent start at all to go in again today.
