Verdict
Cupid's Glory, Vortex and Red Spell are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Cupid's Glory. The selection was a fair second behind Suggestive when last seen, he goes well fresh and despite his penalty he looks the one to be on.Vortex rates the main danger on his latest third behind Areyoutalking but he has had plenty of chances and is becomming hard to win with and he is taken on with this in mind. Red Spell is the highest rated of these but has shown very little of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Kindlelight Debut loves it round here and could go well at a price but his overall form leaves him with a little to find and for the winner we return to Cupid's Glory to small stakes.
