Gold Hush looks the clear pick with Ronaldsay and Lisathedaddy cited as the most obvious opposition. The selection has been withdrawn from recent engagements where softer going had obtained but had shown plenty in success at Thirsk and was certainly not stopping as the race drew to its conclusion. Ronaldsay has been tried in much better grade than this but ran well when taking on handicap company at Nottingham. She will prove a tough task for our selection. Lisathedaddy is arguably better on Lingfield's polytrack than anywhere else but she gave a good account of herself at Goodwood on her latest run and has place claims off today's rating. Pentatonic runs in the way that the market invariably suggests. Well backed before victory at Bath last season, she was friendless at Leicester on an unsuccessful seasonal reappearance. There should be no fitness excuses here. Uig is running with a fair degree of sparkle these days while hurdler, Sunisa was not disgraced at Beverley on her latest outing on the level. Gold Hush looks a filly with a future and can take this en route to better things.
