Verdict
Siena Star has won two from his last three therefore comes here in fine form and is taken to win again at the expense of Paparaazi and Kingscape. The selection does carry top weight as a consiquence of his recent success but showed real courage when beating a big field at Bath last time out. A further six pounds hike in the weights means that life is getting no easier but with confidence on his side and conditions that suit we feel he will take all the beating once more. Paparaazi has been in consitent form of late without getting his head in front. He rarely finishes out of the first four but as a result has become a little frustrating. Having said that another bold bid is expected. Kingscape had looked a progressive sort and got his head in front over course and distance on his penultimate start on similar ground. He looked ill at ease with the very testing conditons at Leicester last time out and as long as the ground is not bottomless then he is to be noted in the betting market . But for the winner we return to Siena Star.
