Verdict

Orpsie Boy, Jimmy The Guesser and Flylowflylong are three against the field in this competitive nursery and the narrow vote is given to Orpsie Boy. The selection was a good third in a better race behind Secret Night last time out, that form looks rock solid in the context of this race and despite top weight he is taken to score from what looks a good draw. Jimmy The Guesser rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Rapsgate but he looks the stables second string on jockey bookings and for that reason he is opposed. Flylowflylong is another worthy of respect on his win over Gattuso last time but that form has since been let down and for that reason he is taken on. Of the remainder, Charlie Delta is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable off this mark and for the winner we return to Orpsie Boy.
