Verdict

Nicely Presented, Shining Lights and Lucky Do look the three to concentrate in the opener and the tentative vote goes to Shining Lights. The selection showed improved form in a first time visor to defeat Miss Holly in good style last time out and if they have the same effect again he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Nicely Presented rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Ile De Paris but although he travels well in his races he finds little off the bridle and is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder Lucky Do showed a modicum of ability a couple of runs ago but he will need to improve on his latest efforts to score and for the winner we return to Shining Lights.
