A poor maiden here but something has to win and the principals look to be Demisemiquaver, Saviour Sand and Paradise Dancer and the narrow vote is given to Saviour Sand. The selection has the highest BHA rating of these and although disappointing of late this is his easiest task to date and he is given one last chance to get his head in front. Demisemiquaver rates the main danger on his latest second behind Alpes Martimes. He could improve for the fitting of first time blinkers and should be watched in the market. Paradise Dancer is another with place claims but he has had plenty of chances and would be better off with the selection if this was a handicap. Of the remainder, Power Player is from a shrewd in-form yard and could go well at a price but for the winner we return to Saviour Sand.
