Verdict

Southwell winner Prince Of Passion rarely runs on Turf nowadays and is best watched here. Ace Master is also worth opposing on the same basis while there may be too much give in the ground for Kempton fourth Whitstable Native. Moss Hill is another with much to prove but Amis Reunis has a chance at the weights as he beat Aussie Blue over 6f at Nottingham last August and re-opposes on better terms. A draw may be an advantage in this big field and connections of BASLE can't complain with stall 17. She's closely matched with Amis Reunis and Ace Master on Polytrack form over the winter and has been in fair form since returning to the Turf - Jamie Spencer's booking is a positive sign.
