Verdict
This looks an above-average Class E race, and Love Triangle is taken to go one better than his debut here, while Cupola and All The More have shown enough to suggest they are both capable of playing a part in the finish. David Elsworth's colt was slowly away on his debut here last Tuesday, but ran on steadily inside the final furlong to finish second, just half a length behind the odds-on favourite, Binnion Bay. It was a fine introduction, improvement is almost guaranteed, and he is fancied to score here under Dane O'Neill. The main danger could be Paul d'Arcy's Cupola, who was third to two very smart juveniles at York on his second start and would not have to improve too much to go close here. All The More was well backed on her debut at Salisbury, Nerys Dutfield's filly eventually finishing fourth, and she is also likely to improve for the experience. The four newcomers probably face a stiff task, but the pick of them on breeding may be Jamie Osborne's Overdrawn, and any market support for this one could be interesting.
