Verdict
Kissing A Fool, Diction and Bowland Bride look the three to concentrate on in this seller and we will side with Diction. The selection ran a fair race when fifth behind Island Swing at Haydock last time, but this is a slightly easier race and the step up in trip should help so we are happy to take a chance on this unexposed filly. Bowland Bride finished behind our selection in that Haydock race and there is no reason to suggest that he will be capable of reversing those placings here. Kissing A Fool did not appear to handle the surface on this track last time and for that reason he is opposed, although a slightly better draw may bring about some slight improvement. Concert Time is the other worth a second look in the market, but this is a race which will not take a great deal of winning and we will stick with Diction as our idea of the winner.
