Verdict
Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Lady Mo, One Upmanship and Mister Clinton and the tentative vote goes to One Upmanship. The selection was a fair second behind Listen To Reason last time and need only reproduce that effort to score. Lady Mo is another worthy of respect she won well last time out when defeating Lord of The East and although this looks slightly tougher she is a danger to all. Mister Clinton is another with place claims but he never runs two races the same so can not be backed with any confidence. Cuddles has dropped to a fair mark and could run well at a price. Of the remainder Londoner is in form but looks to be on a high enough mark and for the winner we return to One Upmanship.
