Distinctly ordinary fare and with Linda Perratt regularly farming races at this level we believe that TADALAVIL is the one to be on. The veteran has scored twice under Samantha Bell and with ground conditions to suit, a repeat of a recent second at Ayr should suffice. Ya Boy Sir delivered a 50/1 shock at Hamilton last month and while a follow up has eluded him, he was able to confirm form with Saxonette on a subsequent meeting. Lizzy's Dream won over course and distance in 2012 and a recent effort at Beverley suggests that he retains enough ability to be competitive. Pavers Star was second in this race last season and life won't be any easier this time off an 11lb higher mark.
