A typically difficult race to unravel with regard to finding a confident selection. Harbour Bell seems to have gone off the boil since switching stables and has a little to prove, as do Khayyam, Ashtara and Bella Pavlina. A scan through the official figures does not make finding the winner any easier and supporting Lyric Maestro, who heads the ratings on 60, would take something of an act of faith. Therefore a small stakes interest in Daneswood is the TEAMtalk advise in a pretty dour-looking contest.
