Verdict
Still Going On, Honey's Gift and Dark Society look the three to concentrate on in another tough race for punters to call, and the vote is given to Honey's Gift. The selection has been in fair form of late and although disappointing last time out, that can be put down to the testing going. The return to this sharper track and faster surface will suit and he is taken to score. Still Going On rates the main danger on his latest effort when beating Erroll, but he has a penalty for that win and this looks more competitive. Dark Society is another worth noting in the market now he returns to a faster surface with his continuing in good form. Of the remainder, I'll Fly is from a yard that has a 100 per cent strike-rate in the last three weeks, so he has to be considered as he is one of the least exposed in the field. However, for the winner we return to Honey's Gift.
