Verdict
Zarin, Bulawayo and Wilson Bluebottle are three against the field in this seller and the vote goes to the last named. The selection has been running over a trip short of his best of late but with the step back up in trip and the drop in grade sure to suit he will be hard to beat off what looks a good mark. Zarin rates the main danger he was a fair second behind Dara Mac in similar grade last time and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Bulawayo is another worthy of respect he was a fair fourth in a better race behind Arran in a better race last time out and he goes well at the track so he is another that will not be far away. Of the remainder Old Bailey is another dropping in grade but he is prone to breaking blood vessels and for that reason he is passed over on this occasion and for the winner we return to Wilson Bluebottle.
