Verdict
A poor seller here but something has to win and the main protagonists look to be Luloah, The Lady Caster and Kings Cavalier and the vote is given to Luloah. The selection was a fair third behind Stoneacre Lad last time out. This looks easier and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. The Lady Caster rates the main danger on her best form but she appeared to regress last season and may just need the run after a 135 day absence. Kings Cavalier is another with place claims on his best form and as he is dropping in grade he should be noted in the market. However consistency is not his strong point and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder the booking of Jamie Spencer for Otis B Driftwood catches the eye and his is another to note in the market but for the winner we return to Luloah who at least ran well last time out.
