In a modest handicap, Compromiznotension gets the call ahead of Apache Nation and Grey Outlook. Compromiznotension looked an improved performer when winning a maiden at the first time of asking for his new trainer last time, and he could well have got in here on a very fair mark. He can go well. Night In looks flattered by his third to Al Qasi at York, while Esoterica scores high marks on the consistency front but might have to settle for a place again. Tour d'Amour also has a place shout, while Grey Outlook can be given a shout based on the 'in' as opposed to 'out' pieces of form. Myths And Verses is entitled to a shout from his current mark and Apache Nation has also to be considered form his current rating, so is very much respected too. Overall, then, once again, the vote goes to Compromiznotension.
