Withdrawn
An absolute pin-stickers closes proceedings, but we'll come down on the side of IGOYOUGO, ahead of Medici Time and Brierty. Igoyougo is chasing a hat-trick, but the low draw would be a negative. He's gone up 5lbs for winning a similar race here a couple of weeks ago, but he's got by far and away the best form, with four wins from his last six outings. He's got a few pounds in hand on a few, including Dandy Nicholls' Indian Trail, who's giving away more than a stone to the well-drawn Colorus, who was a couple of lengths back in fourth behind Igoyougo last time out. Medici Time for Tim Easterby is one of half a dozen to have won over course and distance, and he's gone up four pounds for a win in a similar contest last time out in April. He's well drawn too, and should be there or thereabouts throughout. Brierty is a consistent sort when it comes to place money; it's nearly a year since she won, but she's not been out of the first three in her last six outings. Last time out she might have won with a little more luck in running. Absa Lutte seems to win every other race, and if that sequence is maintained, she'll be first home today. However, our preference is for the consistent winner on a treble, and that's Igoyougo.
