Verdict

Douceur Des Songes was beaten at odds on last time out when second to Rutledge Red who was less exposed and has gone on to win again since and she is taken to score with conditions in her favour. Cybele Eria was in good form at the end of last season notably when defeating Terek easily at Hereford and although he is going up the weights he is a major player. Cameron Bridge could also go well and he to has his optimum conditions but he may come on for this his first run of the season. Bekstar is another to consider but his best form is over further while Father D has a lengthy brake to overcome.
