Parkview Love has been running consistently well of late and Derek Shaw's gelding has to be respected but marginal preference is for Hypocrisy, who gets the vote with Kensington rated the pick of the remainder. The selection has shown gradual improvement in Ireland and here in the UK of late and has slipped to a fair mark so looks worth chancing at the likely odds. David Barron's Pietersen has been given a chance by the handicapper but is hard to recommend on recent form, while Inca Soldier may just be a shade high in the weights at present. Similar comments apply to the John Hills-trained Golden Prospect and of more interest may be Kensington, a winner at Southwell two starts ago and not disgraced here last month. Hypocrisy has slipped to a decent mark though and she is preferred.
