Verdict
Oultan Broad, Leadaway and Green @n@ Gold are three against the field in this seller and the vote is given to Oultan Broad. The selection won well in this grade last time out when beating Lavenoak Lad. Granted he has a big weight but he will cope with the ground and he is taken to score. Leadaway rates the main danger on his latest second behind Merryvale Man. This represents a drop in class and he should be monitored in the market. Green 'n' Gold is another worthy of respect on his best form but he ran no sort of race last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Welsh Dream will love the ground and could go well at a price while Armentiers is another with place claims but he is hard to win with and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Oultan Broad.
