    Verdict

    Dualagi is preferred to Ioweyou and Stir Crazy. The selection is the narrow preference of two solid looking representatives from the Stan Moore stable. Although Liam Keniry has elected to ride the stablemate, perhaps on account of previous experience, there is little doubt that a recent run behind Valery Borzov reads well and she might be worth taking a chance about at the likely odds.Ioweyou is perfectly exposed and ran creditably earlier in the week at Kempton. She is always vulnerable to a finisher. Stir Crazy has to be respected as a course and distance winner although there was little to cheer on a recent turf outing at Folkestone. Hephaestus looked useful last term but has looked to have dramatically lost that precocious form. Charlotte Grey hails from a shrewd yard and should be watched in the market. A difficult race with plenty of possibles and Dualagi is the pick.
