A poor seller featuring some horses who remain very difficult to win with. Prince Minata is thoroughly exposed and although acts well enough over the course and distance, he has plenty to find at the weights. Musical Heath is the best of these on official ratings and represents a stable in flying form. He had his first run on the fibresand at Southwell last time where he showed very little. Although he will be better for the run he cannot be a confident selection. Peartree House is a decent horse at his best but has lost his way somewhat over hurdles and was disappointing here last time. Again that was after a break and this is a drop in class so a return to winning ways is not unfeasible. Love's Design is looking a very difficult ride and is better at Lingfield. The tentative selection here is Vermilion Creek who was given a very bold ride last time out at this track. She eventually weakened but the drop in trip here will suit her well and although she has a bit to find on official ratings she at least remains in decent form.
