Hardly the most bet compelling event with the large majority of the field having not shown much form for quite some time. Rioja Day won't get an easy time up with the pace this time around with Riponian in the race and those two may just set this up for a closer. Colour Contrast should get this run to suit and he would have a good chance if he finds more when coming under pressure this time around. INGLEBY SPRING drops in grade here with professional handling for the first time in a while and that may be enough to see her return to winning form with Irvine Lady offered up as a suggestion at a longer price to outrun her odds.
