Verdict
Not as competitive as the numbers involved would suggest and it's hard to look beyond the principals with preference for Black Belt Shopper. The daughter of Desert Prince has not been discredited in useful company and should make the most of the significant drop in grade on these favourable terms. Maunby Rocker has shown improved form of late on a soft surface but will find conditions far from ideal on this occasion and has something to find at the weights in any case while Rodeo Drive was most disappointing last time. Takes Two To Tango is another who flopped badly last time for no apparent reason but would have place claims on her earlier Nottingham maiden success on fast ground.
