Verdict
Burnwynd Boy gets the nod now dropped in grade with Lady Benjamin a big danger if back to her best. The selection heads the weights and Ian Semple's charge is fancied to win now dropped back to six furlongs. He was far from disgraced in a better race last time out and in this easier company he is our idea of the winner, especially as he is proven on soft conditions. Whiteoak Lady is unexposed and won't mind if the heavens open, whilst in contrast Nezami would prefer quick ground. Ginger Pickle is stepped back up to six furlongs but at this stage of his career he appears best over the minimum trip, so of more interest may be Lady Benjamin. She disappointed when last seen but a winner over course and distance she deserves respect, especially as she is proven on any ground. At a price Bahama Baileys could surprise a few, however Burnwynd Boy gets the vote.
