Verdict
The selection is Jeremy Noseda's Scot Love ridden by Frankie Dettori.The form of his second to Akona Matata here in March has since been boosted and he was a very good second to the progressive Archerfield Links here last month. Opposition comes in the form of Henry Candy's Bold Act who has only had the two runs,both last season,finishing second to Pride of Nation at Nottingham and then a good third at Windsor behind First Show.He could well improve this season. The Richard Hannon trained Plum Pudding has had four outings and his third to Extreme Measures at Newbury last August was a good effort.He also finished only six lengths behind Bold Crusader in a decent contest at Newmarket in October.Another good run can be expected. The choice though is Scot Love who has only to maintain form to win this.
