Ten Cents can land this at the expense of Red Sail and Cantrip. The selection has been a model of consistency of late and since winning at Lingfield back in February she made a pleasing come back to finish under a length behind Gambling Spirit at Brighton. She is entitled to come on for the run and if doing so she will be difficult to beat. Her biggest danger will be Red Sail who was in winning action at Lingfield last time out. This looks tougher and even though she has been placed in similar company prior to her latest victory improvement is required once more. Cantrip won over course and distance at the back end of last season and even though she was not at her best on her seasonal reappearance here last time out she is entitles to benefit for the outing. We know she handles the track so any market support should be noted. But for the winner we return to Ten Cents.
