A particularly weak seller for which few can be regarded as being in-form and stakes are advised to be kept to a minimum if at all. Blushing Spur has not been at his best of late but it is hoped that the combination of a drop in grade over this longer trip will reap dividends so is handed a tentative TEAMtalk vote. Czar Wars has claims on these terms but has proved disappointing of late both on turf and all-weather and can't be backed with confidence while previous course and distance winner Feast Of Romance has plenty to find with the selection at the weights so the lightly raced and improving Lolanita may prove a bigger danger.
