      Verdict

      Holly Springs, Pivotal's Princess and For Life are the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Holly Springs. The selection is not the most straightforward but she sets a decent standard for the rest and if she runs up to her best then she will be hard to beat. She finished second behind Tractor Boy over 6f last time and she is dropped to the minimum trip for the first time today. She looks the one to be with although she still has plenty to prove at present. Pivotal's Princess will be suited by the return to this trip after just being worn down in the closing stages at York last time behind Mafaheem. That was a decent effort and she rates as a live danger to our selection. For Life has shown a decent level of form in his four runs to date but this colt will have to improve to get competitive today. Amira is an interesting newcomer from the Barry Hills yard and is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we are happy to stick with Holly Springs.
