Verdict

Spark Up is given the confident vote here with Blessed Place, Danakim and Chorus rated as the main dangers. The selection won in decisive fashion here last week over 7f when beating Ragasah. His trainer commented after the race that the win will have done wonders for his confidence and with the drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience him here he should take the world of beating. Blessed Place and Danakim are closely-matched on their recent run over 5f at Lingfield when they both finished behind Pulse. Of the pair, Danakim is preferred here as Blessed Place is probably better over the minimum trip than 6f. Chorus would have claims on the pick of her form but she has been below her best of late and she is probably better over further. That brings us back to the in-form Spark Up who looks the one they all have to beat.
