Verdict
In the finale, Registrar gets the call ahead of mainly Councellor, Sparkwell and Swift Oscar. Registrar made short work of his opponents on soft going at Lingfield last time and can now start to build on that run, with a rating of 75 looking reasonable. Councellor goes well for Dane O'Neill, who rides today, and this is his trip, so he gets a solid mention as he come here in good form, while Sparkwell is closely matched with him based on maiden form. Back on Turf, Swift Oscar should be considered as he has been dropped in the ratings for two indifferent all-weather runs, while Malinsa Blue cannot be ruled out of things based on his best form of the current campaign. Rain Stops Play is respected but he might find today's trip on this going a touch sharp, while Fantaisiste has place claims but the jury is out on Persian Rock at the moment. Jolie was unruly at Chepstow last time but did nothing wrong in the race and is interesting, while Bold Diktator will appreciate the return to seven furlongs from last time. Monashee Prince's form is reasonable enough for his rating, while first-time blinkers could spark a revival in Scarlet Invader. Perfect Story remains consistent and the step up to seven furlongs on Turf should suit, while Easy Feeling's second to Ignition at Epsom has been boosted this week. Caly Dancer's form of last August gives him claims but, in a fascinating race, we will opt for Registrar.
