Verdict

Indian Tinker has claims back in this lower grade but a poor strike-rate is off-putting as he looks to end a long losing run. Oriental Splendour is regularly placed but has yet to win and testing ground is a worry for him while Hit The Lights was well ahead of Windforpower when scoring over track and trip recently but has been well beaten since off today's higher mark. ORIENT CLASS is back on winning mark and was not beaten far when fifth on the all-weather last month. Paul Midgley's charge should go close and gets the nod.
