Verdict
A very tough race to work out with some unexposed types on show, but Loveisdangerous might just provide the answer. Fairly lightly campaigned, the Nigel Tinkler filly has proven very competitive at this level, and is very well-weighted with Emaradia on their runs at Folkestone at the end of July. Emaradia won a Folkestone claimer in July and, overall, his level of form would make him a relatively good thing for a seller of this nature. However, Stanford Blue was just behind him at Bath on August 5 on his debut and is entitled to improve. That sentiment can also be applied to Another Expletive, while Almost Welcome takes a big drop in class after a poor run in a race won by a very good John Dunlop juvenile. A market move would be interesting. If back to her best, Miss Brookie should also be competitive in this grade. She won at Thirsk in April but had had a break before disappointing in a first-time visor last time. It is left off today and that run will have blown away the cobwebs. Baytown Shamrock has a little bit to find with Emaradia and Stamford Blue on a recent Bath run, while Dancing Mo also probably has a bit more to find based on her career-best third to Fabuco at Bath six days ago. Lady Ern is another who cannot be ruled out based on bits of form, but they have come on the all-weather. An interesting race of its kind but, with Pat Eddery an eyecatching booking, Loveisdangerous can win the day.
