Verdict

There is no getting away from the chance of Trysting Grove who can land the hat-trick at the expense of Ragasah and Margery Daw. The selection's first victory came in a seller at Chepstow back in August and then she followed up in a banded event at Southwell in November. She obviously doesn't take his racing too well but does appear to go best when fresh and so looks to hold strong claims here. Ragasah also comes here in winning form having comfortably beaten Silver Island at Wolverhampton earlier this month. She appears to be on the upgrade and is the main threat to the selection. Margery Daw disappointed last time out but had previously finished a good second behind Beauty Of Dreams, she should be involved in the finish if she shows her true colours today. The two Andrew Reid runners Bulawayo and Indian Blaze may prove best of the remainder, but Trysting Cove could be better class than this and gets the vote
