Verdict

Gay Romance looks the obvious choice here and she can beat Topton and Sorbiesharry. The Barry hills trained filly was most impressive when losing her maiden tag at Wolverhampton last month, when coming through smoothly under today's pilot to beat Champoluc by two and a half lengths.She doesn't look overburdened for this return to handicapping and should follow up. Topton has been running consistently well and put in another sound performance when chasing home Libre at Wolverhampton,once again he should be there or thereabouts. Sorbiesharry also holds his form well and looks destined for a place at least. Paso Doble, a game winner last time could prove best of the remainder, but now that Gay Romance has learned how to win she could be worth following.
