Verdict

A very competitive contest and a race to savour. Baron Bolt continues to find extra improvement with each and every racecourse appearance and he went down on his sword behind Gifted Master at Newmarket earlier this month, so is massively respected under very similar conditions. Both Global Applause (trip) and Ultimate Avenue (gelded/hood/wind) could rate as potential each-way plays, but we'll take a chance on the reliable filly QUENCH DOLLY. She sits on her last winning mark (93), stays this 6f trip and ran well when finishing seventh to Mrs Gallagher/Mabs Cross in the Listed Lansdown Stakes at Bath last month.
  1. Quench Dolly
  2. Ultimate Avenue
  3. Baron Bolt
