Verdict
The Glen, Redspin, Lord Nellsson and Donald look the principals in this competitive contest and the tentative vote goes to Redspin. The selection was a good second behind Dream Falcon on his debut this season, he is sure to have come on for the run and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. The Glen rates the main danger he won well last time when defeating Lady Of Scarvaiogh but he will find this harder under his penalty and for that reason he is opposed. Lord Nellsson is another worthy of respect he was a good second behind Deferlant last time and with the drop in trip sure to suit and the booking of McCoy catching the eye he will be a danger to all. Donald hails from a yard in form yard in form but he was behind The Glen last time and even on these revised terms he has a little to find. Of the remainder Gin 'n' Fonic will like the ground and is from a yard in form so could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Redspin.
