Verdict

A few of these have been dropping hints that their turn is near and this could go right down to the line. However, Little Richard caught the eye in defeat in both of his last two starts and he is selected over the frustrating Fletcher and Mysterium, who will not be too far away if they post only slightly improved efforts. So too will Anniversary Guest, who is worth another try at this trip now that he seems to be running into form. However, he has a bit to find with Little Richard on their meeting over course and distance from February and he may have to settle for a minor role again today. Dash For Glory also has a similar profile and, in turn, it will be surprising if Little Richard does not also have his measure if they all run true to their best. Waverley Road is a viable alternative but he may need time to adjust after his recent hurdles campaign.
