Verdict

Seymour Weld Shingle Street, Weet A Head and Seymour Weld are three against the field in this seller and the confident vote is given to Shingle Street. The selection won well in similar grade last time out when beating Amirerio and under similar conditions here he need only run up to that mark to score. Weet A Head rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating City Of Manchester but all his best form is on a softer surface and he is passed over with this in mind. Seymour Weld is another that could go well on his latest third behiund From Dusk Till Dawn in a better race and he should be closely watched in the market. Of the remainder Gold Guest is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is best when allowed to dominate and as he looks sure to be taken on he is opposed and for the winner we return to Shingle Street.
