Verdict

A poor turnout for this decent prize and it should rest between Bridge Loan, Borocay Dream and Turnstone, we will side with the first named. All three mentioned are from powerful yards with the selection trained by Jeremy Noseda who is in good form at present. The well bred son of Giant's Causeway was most impressive last time landing a maiden over course and distance by three lengths. He had shown plenty of promise on his debut over a mile and was always travelling easily under Eddie Ahern and when asked to go to the front over two furlongs out quickly settled the issue, a follow up looks on the cards. Turnstone was also successful last time landing a modest Southwell maiden in the style of a decent horse, he should improve for this step up in trip and looks a major threat to the selection. Boracay Dream is one of the more experienced runners in the line up and gained a deserved victory here last week. Best of the remainder should be hat-trick seeking Comeintothespace, but in a very tricky contest Bridge Loan is tentative choice
