A weak affair for which few boast solid credentials and the vote goes to Waxwing who comes here following respectable efforts in slightly better company. Pat Murphy's filly put up a fair effort in the context of this race when a close second in a handicap over course and distance last time, only worn down in the closing stages having attempted to make all. The daughter of Efisio is suited by the race conditions and should prove hard to peg back at this level. Jan Brueghel finally opened his account here last time but that was a desperate contest and he hasn't looked the heartiest of battlers in the past so is passed over. Pup's Pride has been found wanting outside selling class while recent Wolverhampton winner Crusoe can't be backed with confidence after his latest dismal effort.
