Verdict
A relatively poor maiden that can be taken by DEMONSTRATIVE who can be up to this assignment though Primo De Vida and Consult are worthy of note. Mark Johnston had plenty of entries in at the early declaration stage but he relies on the son of Elusive Quality . The entire has ran close up at Chester on two recent starts and if able to act on this surface, he will prove a tough nut to crack. Primo De Vida shaped with plenty of promise at Bath in July behind a well regarded sort in Wisecraic. It is of some concern that we have not seen him out since. Consult is one of the more expensive purchases in the field at 75000 euros. Related to plenty of middle distance performers; the market has to be watched on intro. Let Them Eat Cake does not appear to be one of the stable stars at the Fahey operation. The Ducking Stool was unfancied in two contests at Newmarket though makes a massive drop in grade today. Red Valerian Two is related to plenty of sharp types while the others have been exposed as ordinary. Not a race to linger too long over and Demonstrative is the pick.
