Verdict
A very competitive novice event with many top trainers represented. We will take a chance with Keep On Movin', with Alpine Fox, Amir Zaman and Argent Ou Or three very potent dangers. The Terry Mills trained selection was most impressive when getting off the mark here a couple of weeks ago. She just had to be pushed out to beat Hillcrest and there should be more to come. Tom George's Alpine Fox hasn't raced for some time but did finish runner up in a much better race than this on his last outing. If he retains most of his ability he will be difficult to beat. Martin Pipe's Argent Ou Or needs to improve on what he has achieved so far, but does have the scope to do so. Meanwhile Amir Zaman has been running with credit on the flat and should be noted for any market moves. Richard Guest's Beaver and Jonjo O'Neill's Lake Merced are also worthy of a mention, but in a very open affair Keep On Movin' looks the safest option.
