A moderate seller but nonetheless competitve and Linda Green is nominated following an encouaging effort last time with Plateau and Hold That Call put forward for the placings. Linda Green has been sliding down the ratings of late and is regressing. Her form tailed off towards the end of the turf season but following a break and in selling company she should be thereabouts. Plateau travelled well over 7F last time but hung in the closing stages, pointing to stamina issues. Whether he will have the pace over 5F is a concern but in a weak contest he should make the placings. Hoild That Call is a rare runner for his stable at this time of year and even on that basis deserves respect. He achieved a rating of 71 last season as a juvenile, however, three outings this all-weather term would not inspire confidence. Nautical is an admirable vetern but seems to regularly find one too good while Punching is best watched with regular appearences over the coming weeks likely. Linda Green is the selection to land the seller.
