Verdict

Not an event that is designed to having you strapping the betting boots on with the best of a poor bunch looking to be DESERT POINT as there are question marks over all of the others. In to be claimed for £25,000 his last effort on the Flat was respectable and this represents an easier task. The ground shouldn’t be a worry as he was placed on heavy in Listed company when trained in France. Finding a reliable sort to chase home the selection isn’t easy although by default First Flight qualifies after he ran a decent third over 1m at Haydock on Saturday in a better race than this; this trip will test his suspect stamina though. Alpasu inherits the “battle” for the minor placing.
