Verdict
Vic The Piler, Tynedale and Marsh Run are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Vic The Piler. The selection has only had the three runs so far and he still has plenty to learn, but his trainer likes him and he won well when last seen out when defeating Le Biassais at Kelso. If he is fit enough to do himself justice on his seasonal reappearance then he should take plenty of beating. Tynedale does have the benefit of a recent run and he won well when beating Russian Sky at Kelso. However, he is dropped in trip today which is not sure to suit and for that reason we will take him on. Marsh Run has a good attitude and is sure to benefit from her recent run at Haydock when she finished second behind Vicario. That was a good effort and as she is proven on a soft surface she has to be considered. Progressive has yet to prove that he goes on this ground so looks worth avoiding and for the winner we will stick with Vic The Piler.
