Verdict
Woody Valentine,Romany Prince and Medici are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Woody Valentine. The selection was a good second behind At Your Request last time out. That represents rock solid form in the context of this race and he need only run up to that form to score. Romany Prince rates the main danger as he would have been a fair second behind Adjami last time but for falling two out. This looks easier and he has definite place claims. Medici is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but his over all profile leaves him with a little to find. Of the remainder Idlewild is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Woody Valentine.
