Verdict

Another very trappy contest where a confident selection is hard to pin-down. The shortlist includes Camzo, Firewire and Clarinch Claymore but marginal preference is for the Linda Ramsden-trained Maiden Voyage. The drop in trip should bring about some improvement and her proximity to the well handicapped Polish Flame at Beverley last time reads well in the context of this race. Hasta La Vista should also strip fitter following his reappearance and may provide some value for each way punters.
