In depth
Verdict
Oeil d'Estruval, Be Quiet and Welsh Dream are three against the field in a wide open finale and the vote is given to Be Quiet. The selection won well last time out when beating Oeil d'Estruval and although that rival is weighted to gain his revenge here, the selection has few miles on the clock, has scope for improvement and he is taken to win again. Oeil d'Estruval is sure to have his supporters on these terms but he is more exposed than the selection and he is taken on with this in mind. Welsh Dream was third behind Naomh Aaron last time and is another with place claims but he looks vulnerable under top weight. The Hedge showed improved form last time out but consistency is not his strong point and Be Quiet is our idea of the winner.
