Mina, Stagnite and Labelled With Love are the three that catch the eye here, and Stagnite, a course and distance winner, is taken to follow up a last time out success. Labelled With Love won here over seven furlongs here recently, and has been placed twice since. He clearly likes the track but one of those defeats came in a seller and this looks tougher. Top weight Mina is terrifically consistent and appreciated the step back to six furlongs when scoring last time at Kempton. She can be relied on to run her race but the weight may stop her. Stagnite is not as consistent as some of his rivals, but he can battle, as he did when scoring at Kempton last time. He has won over the course and distance and can follow up his win last time. Stagnite can score again.
