Verdict

The start that GEORGE THOMAS has made for this yard under today’s rider (Selma Grange) can’t be ignored at this level especially as he proved himself on this surface last time and despite getting beaten 6L he did so by an in-form sort. Red Stripes can’t be ignored as he generally runs his race here and this grade looks a little easier than the test he was given last time. Global Melody gained his only win here over C&D but he’s generally been a hard one to trust although this return to 5f may suit. Tllsworth Rose and Under Curfew are two others that can get involved and the latter should be watched in the market returning from a break.
  1. George Thomas
  2. Red Stripes
