In depth

Verdict

A modest maiden and Cross Of Lorraine may be good enough to take first prize, Sion Hill, Balian and All Clued Up may provide most danger. The selection appears to be improving with racing and was second to a Michael Jarvis runner at Wolverhampton last time. The form isn't too hot but he did have horses rated in the mid-fifties well behind. That sort of form could be good enough in this company. Sion Hill has gone close in banded company and you would think a class five maiden would be pushing it. However this is very modest and he should play a part in the finish. All Clued Up has also been running well in the lowest class and could reward each-way supporters. Gifted Lass and Balian also come into the argument here, but Cross Of Lorraine has more potential than most and he gets our vote.
