7/1

Verdict

The best options in the field appear to be the top three and bottom two. While Stintino Sunset and Fen Tiger should run well, the other three are improving 3yos, so they may be the ones to concentrate on. The ease of Red Cloud’s win last time when the tongue-tie was first given a go left a favourable impression but preference is for RUN OF LUCK (nap) at the foot of the weights, with today’s step up in trip likely to boost his chances of further improvement. Innisfree Pearl is therefore third on the list.[Richard Austen]
