Verdict

Woodsley House can beat Hallucinate and Cava Bien, with Be Lucky Lady and Dixie Queen others to consider. Woodsley House has coped well with soft and fast ground in his two runs to date at Salisbury and Sandown, finishing a close second on both occasions. He is the clear form-pick on those efforts and can go one better here before being aimed at Redcar's Two-Year-Old Trophy in October. Hallucinate saw the backside of the very much in-form Merchant in nursery company here on his last visit and should go well along with Cava Bien who was not far behind Coleorton Dane at Musselburgh. Dixie Queen hails from the stable that sent out the 100-1 winner of this event last term so is worth considering for a place if she handles the ground. Kieren Fallon has a good strike for Mark Wallace so any money for newcomer Be Lucky Lady should be noted, but we have no hesitation in nominating Woodsley House as the likely winner.
