Verdict

Some familiar faces lock horns in this tricky Group two event and Etlaala is given one last chance to show his true class, Avonbridge and Ashdown Express are also expected to go well. These sprint races are hard to predict as they tend to take it in turn to win . Etlaala has yet to get his head in front this season but on the pick of his form he is entitled to go close. His latest effort in the Sprint Cup at Haydock was a decent enough effort as he pulled hard early on and used up plenty of energy before stying on into fourth. If Richard Hills can get him to settle properly we may see a much better performance. Ashdown Express can never be ruled out of this type of event and hit winning form last time when dead-heating with Moss Vale in a listed event at Goodwood. Another bold showing can be expected today. Avonbridge wasn't beaten far behind La Cucaracha in the Nunthorpe and had previously finished second in the July Cup, just ahead of our selection. On that effort he has to be a danger to all, but we think there more to come from Etlaala, and if everything falls right today, he could be the one collecting first prize.
