Blue Lullaby,Didoe and Under My Spell are three against the field in this trappy affair and the tentative vote is given to Blue Lullaby. The selection won well last time out when beating Tuscarora and although she has a penalty for that win she won with a little in hand and is taken to defy the handicapper under conditions that suit. Didoe rates the main danger as she was a fair second behind Edge Fund last time out. However that form has since been let down and for that reason she is overlooked. Under My Spell was well backed last time out but could finish only a onepaced fourth behind Taminoula and she looks vulnerable off this mark. Kindness was a fair second behind Dragon Slayer last time but was doing all her best work at finish so the drop in trip looks against her. Of the remainder Downland is from a shrewd yard and looks to be on a handy mark so should be closely watched in the market but in a minimum stakes race for the winner we return to Blue Lullaby.
