Verdict

A race in which it's impossible to hold a strong view, featuring some exposed longstanding maidens, as well as a number of others with various questions to answer. Spirit Of The Vale would hold good claims on her January C&D success, but you can't help but worry that a nasty stalls incident recently may have left it's mark on this genuine filly. Both Dancin Alpha and Embankment sport reasonable form claims, but stamina is a major concern for both of these runners. Therefore, it's worth chancing INNOKO can make a winning Tapeta debut. Whilst the Tony Carroll trained seven-year-old is ideally suited by further, this stiff track can help him build upon a reasonable AW return at Kempton last month.
