Verdict
Oeil d'Estruval. Fontanesi and Gollinger are three against the field in a widew open finale and the vote is given to Oeil d'Estruval. The selection won well last time out when beating Chandlers Cross. Granted he has a penalty for that win but he is unexposed and he is taken to score. Fontanesi rates the main danger on his latest second behind Farringto Lodge. The drop in trip will suit and he will not be far away. Gollinger is another that could go well on his best form but he was very dissapointing behind Not Today Sir for no apparent reason last btime out so he can not be put forward with much confidence. Drumossie won well last time out when beating Ticket To Ride but he looks vulnerable under a penalty in this more competitive affair. Of the remainder Hardybuck has conditions to suit and could go well at a price off a handy mark but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Oeil d'Estruval who at least is in form.
