Ten On Line has to be of interest in a poor contest but Jamie Osborne's colt has been well held in similar contests in his two previous starts and preference is for Shipboard Romance, with Rio Taffeta rated the pick of the remainder. The selection appreciated the drop to this class at Redcar last time and with the yard of David Evans continuing in good form he looks the one to beat. Tenth Night has been well held in two starts in maidens and may do better now dropped into plating class but is hard to recommend on all known form, while Scrap N'Dust is getting better with each start but needs to improve again to trouble the judge. Rio Taffeta is more exposed than most of these but is a consistent performer in this company and should be thereabouts but Shipboard Romance looks the percentage call and gets the vote.
