Verdict
Ingleby Princess, Laurentina and Ava's World are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Ava's World. The selection won well last time out despite running green when beating Cadeaux De Monde, granted this looks tougher but he looks sure to progress again and under similar conditions he is taken to win again. Ingleby Princess rates the main danger on her latest second behind Hinton Admiral, this faster surface will suit and she will not be far away. Laurentina is another last time out winner that could go well as he won well last time when beating Juncea but he looks vulnerable off this mark. Gap Princess was given an abysmal ride last time and now reunited with a professional is another that could go close. Of the remainder Xarr To Busy looks handily weighted but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. This is wide open and the market will be very informative but for the winner we return to Ava's World to small stakes.
