Verdict
A very weak seller that may fall to She Whispers, with First among Equals and Surf City put forward as the main rivals. Greg Chung's filly rarely gets beaten far and put in another good effort over seven furlongs at Wolverhampton last time when fifth behind Mr Rigsby. That was a stronger race than this and with the drop in distance likely to suit she looks the best option here. First Among Equals, unlike most of these, does know how to win. She landed a Haydock contest back in August and has put in some good displays since. If she handles this surface she should be in with a chance of some place money. Surf City is very well in here on official ratings and as with the selection the six furlongs looks to be his best distance. The best of the others could be Miss Lovat, but She Whispers will not find many easier opportunities and she gets our vote.
