Verdict
Kieren Fallon looks to have had the choice of a number of these and we will side with Love Triangle ahead of Moulin De Mougins and the Loder- trained Sutter's Fort. Elsworth's charge couldn't have been more impressive in landing a Galway maiden and his trainer looks to have hit a purple patch at moment. Fallon previously rode Moulin De Mougins and while the horse cannot be crabbed for his win ratio - he made very hard work of disposing of Pivotal Guest at Newmarket a couple of weeks ago. Sutter's Fort is undoubtedly the class animal here. He ran on nicely at Newmarket a couple of days ago to take a nursery prize but the handicapper has taken due note.Scotch N Dry was ultra disappointing at Hamilton and remains best watched. Halicardia will probably get further in time than this seven and will need to avoid a tendency to hang that became e readily apparent during her recent victory at Folkestone. Therefore in the finale we will nominate Love Triangle as our final bet for the Ebor festival.
