Verdict
All You Need, Topflightcoolracer and Ella Woodcock look the three to concentrate on here and we will side with All You Need to lead them home. The selection would win this easily on his best form of last season and he will find this much easier than the competitive handicap he contested at Newmarket when he finished well down the field. He has a good draw today and he should take plenty of beating. Topflightcoolracer rates the main danger on her fourth behind Sugar Land on this track. She has since failed over a longer trip but this is a poor race and she has definite place claims. Ella Woodcock is another that could go well on his latest third behind Still Crazy but this drop to the minimum trip is not likely to bring out the best in him. Agitator was a fair third behind Juncea on his debut and is sure to improve so should be watched in the market. All You Need has the highest BHB rating and he should take plenty of beating.
