Ronaldsay, Hostage and Going To Work look the three to concentrate on here with the narrow vote going to Ronaldsay. The selection ran as if in need of the run when seventh behind Precocious Star last time out, she is sure to srtrip fitter here and under conditions that suit she looks the one to be on with her yard continuing in good form. Hostage rates the main danger as she won well last time out when beating Henry The Seventh but that was on the all-weather and this looks tougher under her penalty and her overall profuile leaves her with a little to find. Going To Work is another that could go well as she beat Nicomedia with a little in hand last time, she looks sure to improve for this longer trip and should be watched in the market. Of the remainder Happy Go Lily dissapointed last time out so can not be put forward with any confidence while Lakshmi looks weighted to the hilt and for the winner we return to Ronaldsay.
