Towy Girl, Affrettando and Carlitos Spirit look the pick in this weak contest, with Towy Girl possessing the best form in the race and taken to come out on top. Affrettando was placed twice before being raised in class at Warwick last time and coming unstuck. Those earlier efforts came at Lingfield and he can be expected to do well at this level. Carlitos Spirit is thoroughly exposed but does possess some ability. he seems to be a little one paced at the business end of his races and may need to drop down in grade before scoring. Towy Girl has been turning in some good performances in the context of this race, and her placed efforts read well. She has been knocking at the door in handicaps, and is clearly the top rated runner here. Towy Girl can make her ability count here.
