Verdict
Camino Real is impossible to oppose in the finale with Site Sentry and Award Winner rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second on her debut behind Turbo Linn when last seen, that form looks rock solid and with improvement likely she is hard to oppose. Site Sentry rates the main danger on his latest third behind Sunnyhillboy but he was keen on that occasion and he will need to settle better if he is to score. Award Winner hails from a yard that has already taseted success in this sphere this season and this Alflora gelding out of winning hurdler Blackwater Bay should be watched in the market. Lake Barrine is related to flat winners but his stable are not renowned for debutante winners and with this in mind for the winners we return to Camino Real who is taken to win this before going on to better things.
