A desperate seller here but something has to win and the principals look to be Tintorero, Attribution and Culzean Bay and the vote is given to Tintorero. The selection was a fair fifth behind Taurian last time out. This represents a drop in class and with the drop in trip and first time visor also looking to be in his favour he is hard to oppose. Attribution rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Art Sale. This represents a drop in class but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Culzean Bay is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she has had plenty of chances. Of the others My Sheilas Dream has ability but also has a temperament to go with it but for the winner we return to Tintorero.
