Verdict

This is a decent little race, and only Caught Out can be ruled out with any great confidence; Spiritual Air gets a tentative vote in the hope she might be a decent price, but Zingari and Boston Lodge would also be serious dangers. Blue Sky Thinking is a lightly-raced four-year-old, but didn't show a great deal on his reappearance at Goodwood, and is probably worth opposing for now. Muchea would have a decent chance on his best form, and has been running in some hot races for most of the season, so he has to be respected, but the three-year-olds might just have a bit more scope. Zingari made a winning reappearance at Ayr and although Sir Mark Prescott's filly faces a stiffer task here, she could easily improve. Boston Lodge is a tough customer who has been knocking at the door recently and should have every chance, but we'll take Spiritual Air as a sporting wager. John Weymes' filly was almost six lengths behind Zingari at Ayr, but is now two pounds better off and capable of better, as she showed on her previous start when third to the progressive Millafonic, and a reproduction of that effort would mean that she could just spring a surprise here.
