Verdict

A small field goes to post for the last on the card but it is competitive non the less and the principals look to be Nashwan Star, Skye's Folly and Marbello and we will take a chance on Nashwan Star. The three year old has been in fair form of late and he will not get a better chance of breaking his maiden tag and a reproduction of his latest effort would make him hard to beat. Skye's Folly rates the main danger he is from a yard in form and the booking of Daryll Holland catches the eye. Of the remainder Marbello showed improved form to be third behind Aoninch last time but he will need to improve again to win this so the confident vote goes to Nashwan Star.
