A weak seller can go to Birkside who has something in hand on official figures; Lord Of Dreams and Give Evidence looks the two most likely to give him a race. The selection has winning form over course and distance and takes a drop in class here having run fairly well in a decent Newbury claimer most recently. His win to runs ratio doesn't instill the most confidence but the horse was successful the last time that he was dropped into selling company and with jockey Paul Doe knowing what it takes to win on the horse, a big run can be expected. Fairly Honest and Give Evidence look the best of the three-year-old challengers, and whilst the former is yet to score in twelve starts, Peter Hiatt's charge has hinted at latent ability. Give Evidence is another maiden, but he ran well at the track last time out and should go close. Miss Porcia has winning course form so warrants more than a cursory glance, whilst the same applies to Fulvio. At a price Mr Napoleon could go well, however Birkside can return to winning ways.
