Verdict

TRUFFLES fairly bolted up over C&D earlier in the week beating several of these rivals in the process. She has to saddle a 6lb penalty here but that may not be enough to deny her if in the same vein of form so she is the selection here. Rock Sound is one potential fly in the ointment. This Dermot Weld three-year-old is very unexposed but has a win under his belt already. There are plenty of others with claims including Keep Believing who had been in good form prior to his saddle slipping last time out.
  1. Truffles
  2. Rock Sound
  3. Keep Believing
