Verdict
This is a moderate seller and it looks a good opportunity for HAWKSPRING to get his head in front; the list of dangers is headed by Cash In The Attic and Patronne. The selection has winning form in this grade and he put in a decent effort in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time when he was third behind Common Diva. He is dropped back to selling grade this afternoon and he can make it count. Cash In The Attic was stepped-up in trip at Wolverhampton last time and she put in an improved effort when she chased home La Diosa. She is dropped back to a mile here which will not be a problem and as she was returning from a short break last time she should strip fitter here and she has to be on the shortlist. Patronne finished down the field behind Cash In The Attic last time when the race was not really run to suit. That was only her second run so there could be more to come and she is not one to rule out lightly. That Boy Ronaldo finished down the field behind our selection when last seen out and he has yet to trouble the judge in five starts in this grade. We are therefore happy to stick with Hawkspring who is put forward as a confident pick.
