Verdict
Gwent trainer David Evans continues in cracking form and can add to his recent tally with Boavista, Romany Nights and Candleriggs may provide most danger. This daughter of Fayruz has been knocking on the door recently, finishing second to Come Away With Me at Warwick, and was the only one to make a race of it with Coranglais in a classified event at Bath. She is up against mainly out of form rivals today and looks certain to go close. Romany Nights is one that is in good heart, he was just touched off by Mine Behind at Bath last time over six furlongs. He remains on a good mark and will have no problem with this drop in trip. The dark horse in the line-up is Candleriggs who hasn't won for almost four years but is steadily dropping down the weights and being an inmate of Dandy Nicholls is likely to pop sometime soon. Best of the others may be Obe One, but in a very trappy affair Boavista looks the safest bet.
