Verdict
Lady Giselle just edges it at the weights with Cocktail Hour but both have had plenty of chances and look pretty exposed. The remainder with experience were all beaten out of sight on their respective debuts and INATE VALUE won't have to be anything special to make a winning introduction. A half-brother to three winners, Andy Oliver's charge gets the vote in an uninspiring contest.
