Nonrunner
Ishibee needs consideration but is arguably at her best in weaker company, and so the nomination goes to Summer Recluse ahead of Trinculo. The selection comes here on the back of a close-up third over course and distance. He was staying on nicely at the death and if he gets the breaks today, then he can take advantage of this mark, now 6lb lower than his highest winning one. Limonia is hit and miss but would have claims on the pick of his form, whilst old-timer Trinculo could be a danger from the front. He likes to blast-off in front and now dropped in trip he may go close. Razzano is consistent and his sole win came at the track, so despite being arguably better over further, he can go well. Musical Script and Charming Ballet are two more to consider, with the latter slipping down to an attractive mark. At a price Ruthless Philly could bounce back to form, however it is Summer Recluse who gets the nod.
