A competitive seller in which we will side with Rio Taffeta ahead of confirmed selling performers Indecision and Ten On Line, and Willyn and Brilliantsensation who are dropped in grade. The selection has proven himself on ground with some cut in; he has won on good to soft and been placed twice on soft/heavy. Therefore he is one who won't mind if the rains come and having won a seller in authoritative fashion when last seen in this grade, he is fancied to take all the beating. Indecision has no real excuses when getting turned over at Ripon just four days ago but will appreciate this return to seven furlongs as he's pretty slow, whilst Ten On Line continues to find one too good but is running well in defeat. Giggling Monkey should appreciate this extra furlong, whilst the booking of Kevin Darley for What's For Tea catches the eye and he should be monitored in the market accordingly. Willyn is another horse dropped in grade but the feeling is that better ground may suit, and so we have no qualms in returning to Rio Taffeta as the selection.
