Song of Vala, Katavi and Beauchamp Star are the principles here and the vote is given to Katavi. The selection was an expensive purchase but she has disappointed on her two starts to date. However, she is stepped up in trip here and that may prove to be the making of her. Song of Vala rates the main danger, but he is another with plenty to prove after running below-par at Lingfield last time. Beauchamp Star ran well behind On Every Street at Warwick last time and as the blinkers are on again here then he should again run his race. Pinching ran well last time and is another with place claims, but for the winner we return to Katavi.
