Norton Sapphire is given the vote here with Tiger Talk and Point of Origin put forward as the main dangers. The selection ran well when eased to this grade last time when a fair third behind Jayed at Fakenham over 2m. She is stepped up in trip here which will suit and with conditions in her favour she is taken to score. Tiger Talk would have a strong claims on the pick of his form, but he has been below his best of late and although he will be suited by this drop in trip and grade he may be best watched at present. Point of Origin showed plenty of promise at Huntingdon recently but then disappointed last time at Southwell. If he can put that disappointing effort behind him then he could be of interest. Rincoola is unexposed and she is another to consider, but for the winner we return to Norton Sapphire.
