Verdict
The best of bad bunch here could be Un Autre Espere, with Cezzaro and Amethyst Rock the obvious dangers. Trevor Wall's charge finally got his head in front when getting the better of Fraamtastic in a similar race at Chepstow last Friday. That was a very week contest but so is this, and it difficult to see past the selection. However Cezzaro does at least have winning form, he landed a Beverley seller last July. But on a line through Fraamtastic he may find it tough against our choice. Amethyst Rock ran his best ever race when third behind Eurolink Artemis at Wolverhampton earlier this month and he could provide the biggest threat. So a race that won't take too much winning and Un Autre Espere is a confident choice.
