Verdict
Pay Attention, Senna da Silva and Viva Forever are three against the field in a tight handicap and the vote goes to Pay Attention. The selection is unbeaten to date over hurdles enters handicaps on a fair mark and won well last time when defeating Impulsive Bid he again has conditions to suit and he will be hard to beat. Senna da Silva rates the main danger on his latest second behind All Star but he gave the impression he would be suited by further on that occasion so the drop in trip is not sure to suit. Viva Forever also won well last time out when defeating Fiddles Music but that form has since been let down and he will need to improve to win off this higher mark. Of the remainder Impish Jude looks to be on a handy mark and is sure to have come on for his latest run he is from a shrewd yard and is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Purple Patch is another that looks to be on a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Pay Attention to maintain his unbeaten record.
