These look a fairly modest bunch with many unlikely to fair well outside of selling company. Fluent is from a stable in form and reverts back to maiden company after being sent off a beaten favourite in a Warwick handicap last week. Sure to be thereabouts Fluent has to be respected, but preference is for Drinkin Time whose sixth place behind Amelia at Leicester recently looks the best form on show. With her yard in great form, Drinkin Time should take the beating. Tomillie shouldn't be too far away if putting his best foot forward but best outsider might be newcomer Yorkshire Blue, who is bred to be pretty sharp and wouldn't have to be a worldbeater to make his presence felt.
