Verdict

Doubts about all here. Lure Des Pres has sprinklings of form but was beaten over 70 lengths when last seen in February. Mister Allegro has only beaten one rival in his last three starts and goes chasing at this early stage of his career. He may be one for a market move though. Arizona Glory is impossible to predict - his last five starts have delivered an easy win, two last-place finishes, a pulled up and and seventh of nine beaten nearly 40 lengths. He cannot be a reliable proposition. Rectory Oak is fitted with a first-time tongue tie and blinkers after two disappointing runs this term and therefore DINDIN is almost the selection by default. He's having a third run in 12 days but has been performing consistently enough and picking up prize money and should go close despite his busy schedule.
