In depth
Verdict
Lone Piper, White O' Morn and Shady Deal are three against the field in an open affair and the tentative vote goes to White O'Morn. The selection was a fair fourth behind Blueberry Rhyme last time out and a reproduction of that effort would see him go close. Shady Deal would have a chance on the best of his turf form but he has shown very little on the AW in the past so can not be backed with any confidence. Lone Piper is well in on his best form but has shown very little of late. Of the remainder Tuscan Dream is drooped in class while Maron is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market but in a race full of imponderables we will side with White O'Morn.
