Verdict
A desperate seller here but something has to win and the principals look to be One Night In Paris, Ravi River and Bond Cruz and the vote is given to Ravi River. The selection has the highest BHA mark of the runners is dropping in grade and looks the one to be on in a dreadful affair. One Night In Paris rates the main danger as he won last time out when beating Climate in similar grade so he will not be far away. Bond Cruz has some ability but may need the run after a 337 day break while The London Gang has not shown much of late so can not be put forward with much confidence. This race is desperate and stakes should be kept to the minimum but Ravi River gets the vote.
