A competitive field goes to post for this seller and the market could prove all important but the principals look to be Adalpour, Barton Sands and Magenta Rising and the vote goes to Adalpour. The six year old was a fair second in a claimer behind Peterson's Cay last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat with conditions again in his favour. Barton Sands was a fair sort on the flat but has not progressed as expected over hurdles. However he is not likely to find an easier race so is worth noting in the market. Magenta Rising showed improved form to be sixth behind Lowe Go last time. Kahaladijastan was a fair third behind Jardin Fleuri last time but he travelled like the winner and found little off the bridle so for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Love's Design has won at up to a mile on the flat and it would be no surprise if he were involved in the finish but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum we return to Adalpour.
