Enticing, Christmas Tart and Sunken Rags are three against the field in a trappy affair and the vote is given to Enticing. The selection won well on her debut when beating Siren's Gift, is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement from a good draw will be hard to beat. Christmas Tart rates the main danger on her best form but she appears to have regressed of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Sunken Rags is another that could go well on her latest third behind The Mighty Ogmore but the suspicion is she will be seen to better effect over a longer trip. Of the others Seaflower Reef is from a yard in form but her form leaves her with a little to find and with this in mind for the winner we return to Enticing.
