Verdict
A mixed bag of abilities and LISTILLO is offered another chance to score with Cool Valentine and Wisecraic others to stand out on balance. Harry Dunlop's charge has struggled to get his head infront but there have been some fair efforts in defeat and on pedigree, there is a more than fair chance that he will get this trip. Cool Valentine is a half-brother to Dark Prospect. He looked all at sea on Epsom's camber but had shown well on debut at Lingfield. Wisecraic is related to a number of seven furlong winners and his owners have tended to specialise with progressive juveniles in the past. Primo de Vida has a number of seven furlong specialists in the family including California Laws. There could be more to come. Moonraker's Choice was one of the more expensive purchases though it would be no surprise to see her coming into her own over further. Little Brazilien is a cheap half-sister to Mr Tambourine Man. Emma Jean Lass is a half-sister to Mull Of Dubai. That gelding is better known over further but was useful enough to win an event over six furlongs. Catchanova's pedigree suggests that he will prosper if there is any rain in the area in the next 48 hours. Listillo sets the standard in a race where the market vibes will be vital.
