Ingratitude gets the confident vote here with Enthusius and Misttori Belle rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second behind Phantom Lord last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and under conditions that suit he is taken to regain the winning thread. Enthusius rates the main danger, as he shaped with promise on his debut seventh behind Special Envoy, this looks easier and with improvement likely he will not be far away. Misttori Belle is another that could go well now that she enters handicaps off what looks a lenient mark and she should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Eumene is another that has shaped with promise but he may be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time and for the winner we return to Ingratitude.
