A poor contest that may go the way of Dolphinelle, with Blue Savanna and Absolute Utopia poised to fight for the places. Jamie Poulton's charge came to form this time last year when winning a seven furlong seller, this extra three furlongs may be just testing his stamina but against today's opposition he should be able to hold on for victory. Blue Savanna comes back to the flat after three unimpressive runs over hurdles, and although he was well beaten on his two previous visits here, that was against better opponents, and he may now have found his level. Absolute Utopia landed a selling handicap here back in September off a mark of sixty and must be in the shake up despite giving weight away to the rest of the field. High Diva has performed well over course and distance in the past and can't be easily ruled out but we will side with Dolphinelle.
