Verdict
Sea Squirt gets the confident vote with Lunar Lord and Little Villain rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when defeating Counsel and although he is rising in the weights his jockey takes off a handy seven pounds and he will not be far away. Lunar Lord rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Fast Mix in this grade last time out. However he looks weighted up to his best and for that reason he is opposed. Little Villain is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Polar Gunner but he remains a maiden after 18 starts so can not be backed with any confidence. Timidjar will be a danger to all if the ground remains on the fast side so is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Silent Guest is from a yard in form and is another that could go well at a price but in a poor race for the winner we return to Sea Squirt.
