Verdict

Free Style, One Upmanship and River of Diamonds head the shortlist here and we will give the vote to the first named. This daughter of Most welcome had been showing signs of coming to hand before bolting up here last time. She looks to be at the peak of her form and should be followed in this mood. One Upmanship was second on the turf at Chepstow last time in quite a competitive race. He also has fine form on the all-weather and should be vying for some place money. River Of Diamonds hit winning form on the turf at Yarmouth last time and should go well if handling the artificial surface. It is not a race to bet heavily but Free Style looks to have as good a chance as any.
