        Verdict

        A poor maiden here but something has to win and the principals look to be Red Blossom, Divine Love and White Moss and the nomination is given to Divine Love. The selection was a fair sixth behind Distiller on his first run this season, some placed horses in that race have since franked the form and as he looks sure to strip fitter here he looks the one to be on. Red Blossom rates the main danger on her latest fourth behind Andmoreagain, she looks sure to improve for this longer trip but she has not progressed as expected and at likely odds looks worth taking on. White Moss is another that could go well on her second behind Honurable Lady but she has since disappointed for no apparent reason so she can not be put forward with much confidence. Of the remainder Chicken George showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is sure to improve but Divine Love sets a fair standard and he gets the vote
