Verdict

A very moderate contest but AUTHORITARIAN gets the nod after a better run at Lingfield and though the softer ground appeared to bring about the improvement today's conditions shouldn't pose a problem. Love Grows Wild has been staying on at one pace at the business end though this is such a poor quality event that she should be in the shake-up again. Essell ran her best race to date over the C&D last week and wouldn't need to improve much to get into the mix while Winter Dress has shown the occasional flashes of form and looks best over this trip.
