Verdict
A poor contest that shouldn¿t take much winning, and it could go to Calamintha, with Tea¿s Maid and Bellesouer posted as the main dangers. This daughter of Mtoto returned from a summer a break to run reasonably well in much better races at Salisbury and Catterick and if she can repeat the form she showed back in June when a close up third behind Man The Gate in a classified event at Leicester she should beat these. Tea¿s Maid hails from the inform James Given yard and this daughter of Wizard King looks to have found her level after taking on much better opposition. Bellesoeur has shown glimpses of form in slightly better events and could run into a place, but for the winner we must side with Calamintha
