Verdict

The fitting of a tongue tie appeared to bring something extra from WE'LL BE THERE when last spotted in March finishing second at Chepstow. This is anything but strong, so she will hold sound claims if fit enough to herself justice on her reappearance. Whiskey John also put up a much-improved effort at this track 19 days ago, when just clear of Moonlight Flyer, both are worth a look with preference for the first-named over this longer trip. Tactical Manoeuvre is temperamental but has talent while Ochos Rios can go better having had a run.
  1. We'll Be There
  2. Whiskey John
  3. Tactical Manoeuvre
