Lake Eyre, Mr Uppity and Arctic Burst look the three to concentrate on here and the vote goes to the first named. This daughter of Bluebird returned from a summer holiday to finish an excellent third behind Pawan over course and distance last time. There should be plenty of improvement to come and she looks to have strong claims against these rivals. Mr Uppity finished just ahead of the selection in that Southwell event and has to be thereabouts again, but Lake Eyre has more scope and should be able to turn the tables. Arctic Burst was rated in the nineties just last April but has gone downhill since, however he has shown signs of returning to form recently and could sneak into a place., The best of the remainder could be Star Lad, but we expect Lake Eyre to step up on least weeks effort and she is a confident choice.
