Verdict

A competitive race rounds off the card and a race in which jockeyship will be all important and with that in mind the principals look to be He's The Biz, Sunny Native and Diamond Monroe and the selection is He's The Biz The gelding from the Nick Williams yard won well last time out when defeating Hidden Exit and with Polly Gundry taking the ride he will be hard to beat. Sunny Native rates the main danger he was a good second behind Raise Your Glass last time and under similar conditions here he has definite place claims. Diamond Monroe is also worth of respect he is from a top yard and is worth noting in the market he was a fair fourth behind Montel Girl last time but remains a maiden so for that reason is opposed. Of the remainder Felix was a good second behind The Sister last time and is another one to watch but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum we are happy to stick with the last time out winner He's The Biz.
