Verdict

Endless Peace is the selection ahead of Flite of Araby, with Augustine and Coolfore Jade sure to have their supporters as well. Endless Peace was a maiden in Ireland but ran a race full of promise when a close second over this trip here on only her second outing for James Unett at the end of last month. She seems to have taken to Wolverhampton and should make a bold bid to go one better today. Flite of Araby is a long-standing maiden who has shown enough of late to suggest that he is worth persevering with. His form in selling company leaves him with a bit to find with the selection here however, and he can be opposed. Augustine finished fifth at Newmarket for David Loder on his debut two years ago but has had his problems and lines up relatively lightly-raced. A win at Southwell last time could mean he is about to make up for lost time, and he will be a danger. Coolfore Jade will appreciate being back over her winning course and distance but is distinctly moderate, and Endless Peace, with more scope than most, is the pick.
