Verdict

Spectait, Go Mo and Clara Bow are three we like here and the vote is given to Spectait. The selection was all-out to beat Anduril at Wolverhampton last time but he ran a bit green that day and the narrow margin of that success could be taken as a positive today. He is only up 3lbs in the weights for that win and as he is sure to improve he is given the vote. Go Mo was a narrow winner over this course and distance last time but the whole field was covered by less than four lengths that day so the form may not be as good as it might appear on first inspection. Clara Bow was a good winner at Newmarket last time when defeating Shesthebiscuit but that was a poor race and she will need to improve markedly to lead them home tonight. Saxon Lil is in cracking form and is the other to consider, but she is rising in the weights and for the winner we will stick with Spectait.
