Verdict

Princess Roania certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn and she has the form to play a big role, while she ran well last time out. She's respected but hard to side with. Big Picture was backed on debut for this yard but failed to justify the support, he's not one to write off totally as yet. Flanagans Field has knocked on the door lately and ought to give another good account down in trip but the nod goes to BLUE APRIL, who ran with promise for a long way on his seasonal reappearance at Plumpton and should be that little bit more tuned up for the experience running out of an in-form yard.
  1. Blue April
  2. Flanagans Field
  3. Princess Roania
