Verdict

A very tricky selling contest and we will just side with Pat Will, with Hester Brook and Vital Tryst two others worthy of respect. David Evans won this event in 2000 and Pat Will has claims here on the pick of her form. Course ability is always an important factor here at Leicester and our selection did win here in similar company over the six furlong trip. She hasn't really run a bad race since and back in selling company she must have an excellent chance. Hester Brook ran poorly on her final outing last season but may have been over the top. Her previous efforts were solid enough, earning a rating of 68 and if running up to the mark she will be hard to beat. Vital Tryst is interesting as he is from a top yard and drops into selling company for the first time and Strike Force is not out of it on the pick of his all-weather form, however in a wide open affair Pat Will just gets the vote.
