Verdict
Scottish Exile is improving with every run and, overall, possibly has the best form on offer. As such, she gets our vote here, with any number rated as possible dangers. High Swainston put up his best performance yet when fifth to Orpenberry last time over course and distance. Joey Perhaps improved a good deal on his first run when fourth at Folkestone last time and, dropped back in trip from that run, could improve again. Peters Choice should also strip fitter for his debut run. Garnock Belle has been fairly well beaten on both starts to date. Mythical Air is a full sister to a five-furlong juvenile winner even though there is some stamina on the dam's side of her pedigree. Sweet Cando also has a reasonable level of form in the context of the race and Darryll Holland is certainly an eye-catching booking. Overall, though, we'll stick with Scottish Exile.
