Verdict

PICK YOUR BATTLE has the most recent winning form, scoring at Ayr on Monday. He is preferred to Toymaker, who won at Wolverhampton last month but ran a shocker when favourite at the same track last time. Little Lord Nelson went close here in between a couple of moderate efforts while Foie Gras was placed at Wolverhampton off today’s mark on his penultimate start. Titan Goddess is another to consider on her placed efforts over track and trip at the end of last year.
