Verdict
This looks to be a good opportunity to for Crewes Miss Isle to score, despite top weight, with Easily Averted and Piccleyes also likely to figure. The selection has a decent high draw here, goes particularly well over six furlongs, and has just about the best recent form on offer on what is an ordinary nursery. The one doubt would be her ability to handle the fibresand here, as it usually rides slower than decent ground on turf, and she has performed best on good to firm. Easily Averted is another trying the track for the first time, and has shown his best form over the minimum trip and also on faster ground. However, his level of ability is superior to most of these and although he does not convince he truly gets six furlongs, he may well be up to claiming a place here despite the worst of the draw. Of the remainder, Embassy Lord has a decent berth, is a distance winner and clearly has a chance of making the frame, as does Piccleyes, who stayed on well last time over 5f and can be involved at the business end, but we will stick with Crewes Miss Isle.
