Verdict
Louisiade has been in good form on the all-weather of late but has risen in the weights as a result and may be worth taking on back on turf today with preference for Aperitif, who gets the vote ahead of Parkview Love. The last mentioned returns to turf on a fair mark despite recent winning form on the sand so cannot be discounted on a surface that suits. Island Green has done most of his racing on the all-weather and may now be a shade high in the weights, while H Harrison is likely to find the conditions too testing. Sentiero Rosso is on a fair mark and a confirmed performer on this ground so is entitled to be thereabouts. He makes more appeal than Dudley Docker who looks to be a shade too high in the weights after some decent efforts on the all-weather recently. In a competitive contest it is Aperitif that is marginally preferred in the hope that he continues the progressive form that he has shown on the sand of late back on a surface that suits.
