Verdict

There was a lot to like about the manner in which MEAD VALE went about the task over C&D last time out and, as this doesn't look much tougher, the gelding looks a safe option in modest contest. Gwalia and Passing Dream are a couple of others who don't have too much to find, while Silver Quay has a reasonable chance of making the frame if they all stand their ground.
  1. Mead Vale
  2. Gwalia
  3. Passing Dream
