Verdict

Charlotte Vale gets the confident vote over Prize Fighter and First Fought. The selection is best on testing ground and and she has been running well enough to make her the one to beat today. She will be suited by the step-up in trip and if she runs up to her best form she will be hard to beat. Prize Fighter has ability but he is a little temperamental and he is probably best on a faster surface. First Fought would have claims on the pick of his form but he is unproven on this ground so can't be backed with any confidence. Ring The Boss may prove best of the remainder but for the winner we are happy to stick with Charlotte Vale.
