There's little between the majority of these and confidence is thin on the ground, particularly given that the last two winners of this race returned at 25-1 and 50-1. The fillies Enticing and Look Busy are an obvious place to start but we're going to take a chance with TURN ON THE STYLE. The ground could play a crucial role here as Enticing has little form with cut to her name despite being by Pivotal whilst her two best runs this year have been with Murtagh aboard and his absence is a worry. Look Busy has enjoyed a fabulous season and has plenty in her favour as she looks to record her second success at this level this season; she's held her form well and isn't easy to knock. Reverence and Wi Dud have been struggling to find their best but Moorhouse Lad ran a better race when third behind Galeota and Loch Verdi at Doncaster. All three have claims on that showing but we're going to side with the fifth home. John Balding's stable star was having his first run since February so was entitled to need the spin and also lost ground at the start when his trait of playing up in the stalls resurfaced. There are stronger candidates but official ratings have him within 4lbs of the highest rated horse and that is unlikely to be reflected in his odds so it could pay to take a chance with Turn On The Style in the hope that everything drops right.
