Verdict

Michaelmas Daisy has done little wrong in her last two starts, including when second over course and distance last month but Amy Weaver's filly has been done few favours with a draw in stall seven of the seven runners and it is hard to get away from TUKITINYASOK, who gets the vote with Capacity rated the pick of the remainder. The selection was good value for his maiden success at Ayr last month and he ran well when a close third on his nursery debut on soft ground at Newbury subsequently when a close third behind Sir Parky. Roger Fisher's gelding possesses plenty of early pace and, from the best of the draw in stall one, he is taken to make all the running. Tom Dascombe's Brambleberry won well enough on her debut on the Polytrack at Lingfield and ran too badly to be true in a Listed race at Sandown subsequently so has to be considered over an extra furlong today that should suit. Ruth Carr's Diamond Laura has won each of her last two starts but they have been in claimers and this is more difficult. Transfixed has shown a consistent level of form for David Evans of late and she has to be considered but a bigger threat is likely to come from Capacity. Mark Johnston's colt has run well in all three starts in maidens and he looks reasonably well treated racing off a mark of 75 on his debut in a nursery. Tukitinyasok has an obvious chance given his recent form and from his stall and he looks the one to be on.
