Verdict

The slight ease in trip can help Compton Drake get back to winning ways today. With Opening Ceremony, Kyrssa and Ma Yahab other to take a serious look at when the betting opens in earnest. It may also be prudent to monitor the activities surrounding Electrique, as he was beginning to really shape up nicely when he won a very competitive maiden at York at this time last year. A bad fall when he was sent over hurdles dented his confidence significantly enough for him to be very lightly campaigned since the turn of the year, but he is much better than he has shown in both his previous starts this term and it would be no surprise to see him go well for each-way players. Ma Yahab is closely matched with Opening Ceremony on recent form and both should ensure that the selection does not have it all his own way, while Kryssa has shaped as if he is suited by a test of stamina and can also go well if he gets the trip. However, Compton Drake has absolutely no questions to answer in this area of his game and the five-year-old looks to have been found a good opportunity to prove himself at a track that has suited him well in the past.
