Trusted Mole can land the opener at the expense of Vandenberghe and Theatre Lady. Trusted Mole has been running particularly well of late and while his recent sixth at Hamilton might not look too good in a numeric sense, he was taking on better horses and tonight represents a drop in grade. Vandenberge has bits and pieces of viable form including a recent fourth in his last outing when he was ridden to try and stay a mile-and-a-half. He has won over nine furlongs albeit at Wolverhampton. Theatre Lady is also back to her best trip and while the booking of Danny Tudhope is a positive, she is incredibly frustrating to follow. Ryan's Bliss is not the same horse she once was in juvenile company but she produced a reasonable effort in a Banded race at Lingfield. Short Change and Fairland are watched in the market. Trusted Mole gets our vote.
