Verdict

Champagne Shadow gets the confident vote to win this desperate seller with Good Article and Tip Toes rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Alwaysforsale, this looks easier and under conditions that suit he need only reproduce that effort to win this with a little in hand. Good Article rates the main danger on his latest third but he was behind the selection last time and on these terms there is no reason why he should gain his revenge. Tip Toes was a fair fourth in the same race and gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip. Of the remainder Ambersong is from a yard in form and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Champagne Shadow who gets the confident vote.
