Verdict
Story of One gets the confident vote to win this seller with Concert Time and Mermaid's Cry rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair fifth behind Goldhill Prince in a much better race last time out and a reproduction of that effort should suffice in this company. Concert Time rates the main danger on his best form but he was well beaten in this grade behind Diction last time out and for that reason he is opposed. Mermaids Cry is another that could go well she was a fair second on her debut in this grade behind Bowland Bride before being outclassed in maidens on her last to runs. The drop in grade will suit and she has definite place claims. Of the remainder Justenjoy Yourself is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Story Of One.
