Verdict
This is a tricky race for punters to call but Lady Piste, Fayr Firenze, Mac The Knife and Bulawayo look the four to concentrate on with the vote going to Lady Piste. The selection has been running well over the winter on the AW and returns to the turf on a handy mark. With conditions to suit he is taken to score. Fayr Firenze has finished second on three of his last four starts, but the suspicion is that he is slightly better over 6 furlongs and for that reason he is overlooked on this occasion. Mac The Knife has been a little disappointing of late but does have the ability to go well here, while Bulawayo will be suited by the return to 7 furlongs and might be worth considering as a decent each-way bet. Many of these would have chances on their best form, but for the winner we return to Lady Piste.
