Verdict

Rowan Lodge, Lisa Mona Lisa and Megell look the three to concentrate on in this nursery and the vote goes to Rowan Lodge. The selection won well last time out when defeating Good Wee Girly and with this extra furlong sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Lisa Mona Lisa rates the main danger as she was a fair fourth behind Diction last time out and is another that will appreciate this longer trip but she is more exposed than most and for that reason she is opposed. Megell is another worthy of respect but he was very disappointing last time out so can not be backed with any confidence. Of the remainder Hallucinate showed improved form to be second behind Lucky Red Pepper last time and is from a yard in form so is worth noting in the market but we will stick with Rowan Lodge as our idea of the winner.
