Verdict

Two Turtle Doves won three out of four at this time a year ago but his only defeat came when well beaten in this race behind Liliargh. The winner has only had three runs this season, all over 7f, and looks to have been primed for a repeat so shouldn't be dismissed. The presence of first-time blinkers and Serena Brotherton in the saddle suggests Stenid will attract support and Kevin Ryan's charge is open to further progress, a remark that also applies to CALYPSO MUSIC. Jim Goldie's filly has been staying on over the minimum trip and looks to have enough improvement in her to gain her first victory. White Flag won here in May and is only 2lb higher so should give a good account in a tricky finale.
