Verdict

HEIR OF EXCITEMENT looks the pick on current form and with his proven ability on a softer surface. Lady In Question cannot be ruled out as she should handle conditions too and her current form suggests there are races to be won with her. The rest make little appeal on recent evidence and with concerns about the going. Jumping Around has been poor lately but she merits consideration on account of the trainer/jockey combination.
  1. Heir of Excitement
  2. Lady In Question
  3. Jumping Around
