Verdict

A fascinating staying contest even if it’s only of a fairly low grade with a fair few that will be fancying their chances here. It should be run at a decent pace which is likely to suit INGLEBY HOLLOW who appeared to enjoy slicing his way through the field at Redcar and a similar scenario could ensue here. Tonto’s Spirit will more than likely give this a good go from the front coming from the Slack yard that one this last year although he has to show he can cope with this better grade and may get taken on by the likes if In Focus who is certainly capable of winning a race such as this based on his recent showings. Attention Seaker is tough and genuine but will do well to give weight away here, while Bianca Minola and Adherence are respected. Casemates Square is the most interesting in the line-up having been lightly-raced and stepping up to a trip that should suit returned to turf for an in-form stable and the market may well be the best clue to his chance with cheekpieces on for the first time.
  1. Ingleby Hollow
  2. In Focus
  3. Casemates Square
