Verdict

Craiova sets a decent standard here and will be difficult to beat. Barry Hills' colt is probably a little unlucky to still be a maiden, but he has come up against some useful individuals in the past and this is certainly the easiest task he has faced to date. Lobos has had plenty of chances and shouldn't be good enough to trouble the selection on these terms, while Mister Sweets does have a little race in him, but he will find this too competitive. Summer Recluse turned in a sound effort on her comeback and is clearly effective here. She will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Of the three-year olds Gondolin has shaped as though he can pay his way, but he is out of a mare that stayed well and he may need further to show his best. Stablemate Compton Expert, who is out of a winning mare, may prove the better of the pair.
