Verdict
A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Mr Loire, Temtation and Blushing Russian and the tentative vote is given to Mr Loire. The selection was a fair second behind Avoca Dancer last time out, looks sure to be suited by the drop in trip and in a poor race he is taken to get his head in front. Temtation rates the main danger on his latest third behind Charlotte Grey but that form has since been let down and he is taken on with this in mind. Blushing Russian is another that could go well on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time out so he can not be put forward with much confidence. Elvina was fourth behind Dodaa, he goes well at the track and could go well at a price. Of the remainder Maromito will make a bold bid to make all the running but he looks sure to be taken on for the lead and is opposable on that basis. Of the remainder Elizabeth Spirit is from a shrewd yard and is worth a cautionary look in the market but her overall form leaves her with plenty to find and for the winner we return to Mr Loire.
