A poor claimer gets proceedings underway but something has to win and the principals look to be Chantelle's Dream, 1 Gaudalpin , and Owed and the narrow vote is given to Chantelle's¿s Dream. #The selection was a good second behind Tuscan Flyer last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and she need only run up to that mark to win off this mark. Gaudalpin rates the main danger on his latest third behind Boisedale but that was over a longer distance and the drop in trip does not look ideal. Owed is another worthy of respect as he is dropping in grade and is from a yard in form so is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Dan di Canio is another dropping in grade but his best form is over a longer trip and in a race where stakes should be kept to the bare minimum for the winner we return to Chantelle's¿s Dream who at least is in form.
