Verdict
In Extra Time, Return Home and Neutrino look the three to concentrate on here with the confident vote going to In Extra Time. The selection won well last time when beating Lake Imperial and although rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and he will be hard to beat. Return Home rates the main danger on his latest third behind Lord Ryeford but again he looks vulnerable under top weight. Neutrino is another worthy of respect as he was still going well when falling last time out. He remains on a fair mark and with his yard continuing in good form he should be watched in the market. Of the others, La Griffe has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but he is hard to win with and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive In Extra Time.
