Verdict
Bogaz, Lottie and Vibrato are the three to look at here with Vibrato getting the vote. Bogaz has run two good races in defeat at Leicester and Kempton recently and in a race such as this where many of the runners have shown little, must have a fair chance. Lottie has run well twice on a fast surface this summer and is respected. She has been dropped in class without success recently though and is taken on here. After racing well to be second at Musselburgh two outings ago, Vibrato was raised in grade last time without success. However, this appears a much easier contest, and Vibrato is expected to be too strong for his rivals.
