VITO VOLTERRA is in good form and he is fancied to see off Miss Lovely and Tamarind Hill. Andy Haynes' son of Antonius Pius doesn't have the best of draws to work from today however he comes here on the back of a good third at Wolverhampton. He has previously won two claiming races on the turf so knows how to get his head in front and the 70-rated individual could take some beating. Any market move for Argyll would be interesting now dropped in class, Miami Gator has struggled in this grade before, whilst Ishe A Lord is unexposed but in poor form. The top-rated in the race is Miss Lesley; the 73-rated filly tries the blinkers today having had a decent enough chance at the track last time out. Kieren Fallon looks an interesting jockey booking for Out The Ring whilst Tamarind Hill shaped much better last time out when fourth to Chocolate Cookie over an extra furlong here. Zelos Dream is consistent and yet another to consider, however we are happy to side with Vito Volterra.
