Verdict

Red Stripes has failed to threaten since winning over track and trip last month when Prominna finished behind. The latter and Pharoh Jake filled the placed behind Hurricane Alert at Lingfield more recently and it’s difficult to separate that trio while better is expected from New Rich returning to 6f today. ATYAAF never raced for John Gosden and switched yards last summer. He opened his account for Derek Shaw over 5f here last time and, with plenty of scope for further improvement, may prove worth sticking with.
