Verdict
Real Bond, Epitomise and Primarily look the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Epitomise. The selection looks to be going the right way and she translated her improved all-weather form to the turf last time when a good second behind Stamford Blue. She looks like one to stay on the right side of at present but on the flip side she would probably be better suited here by an extra furlong. Real Bond has been a little frustrating so far and he looks worth opposing here at the likely odds. He was disappointing again last time at Ripon when third behind Juniper Banks and he has yet to prove that he actually sees out this trip. Primarily was 'never travelling' according to his jockey Fergus Sweeney at Wolverhampton last time, but he would have definite place prospects here on the back of his previous run at Haydock when a good third behind Fisberry. Continental Flyer has been well-beaten on her three starts to date but she is from a leading yard and could go well at a price. However, in a tricky race for punters to call Epitomise is given the tentative vote.
