Verdict
Lutin Du Moulin gets the confident vote with River Mist and Nifty Roy rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out in a first time visor when beating Fu Fighter. Granted he has a penalty for that win but he won with plenty in hand and with the visor on again he is taken to score. River Mist rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Muckle Flugga. He looks sure to be suited by the return to this shorter trip and he should be noted in the market. Nifty Roy is another worthy of respect as he also won well last time out when beating Northern Echo but this looks more competitive and he will find it harder under his penalty. Of the remainder is from a yard in form and is sure to have come on for his latest run but he looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Lutin Du Moulin who has plenty of scope for improvement.
