Verdict

Beaver Diva, Blue Moon Hitman and Frenchmans Lodge are three against the field in this wide open claimer and the vote is given to Blue Moon Hitman. The selection shaped as though he was running into form when a good third behind Bella Tutrice over this course and distance last time. He was only narrowly beaten in that race and if he can reproduce that effort here he will not be far away at the finish. Beaver Diva is in fair form at present and she put up a decent effort to finish fourth behind BA Clubman at Southwell last time. However, that was over 7f and she is not as effective over the minimum trip so on that basis she is overlooked. Frenchmans Lodge ran well behind Revien two starts ago but he was bitterly disappointing when last over 6f at Lingfield last time. The return to this trip will suit but he looks to have plenty to prove at present. Inspired Act is an interesting newcomer and she is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to Blue Moon Hitman.
