Verdict
Night Wolf is on a roll at present and gets the nod over fellow co-joint topweight Lucid Dreams, while Asbo and Gem Bien are expected to throw down serious challenges. Gem Bien is holding his form well and is entitled to respect on the best of his efforts. However, he is has struggled to win Banded Stakes of late and now has a little to prove from a 5lb higher rating than his All Weather assessment. Richard Hughes is an interesting jockey booking for Asbo, who also has to be respected. She is relatively lightly raced and she could be the surprise package of the race. Her close up effort behind Indian Maiden reads particularly well and she is one for each-way punters to seriously consider. Lucid Dreams has held his form well and plenty will think he deserves another throw of the dice in this company. However, a literal reading of his form with Motu gives the advantage to Night Wolf, who caries our hopes here. Jamie Poulton seems to have found the key to this five-year-old and it seems harsh to desert him after his well earned victory last time e out.
