In depth

Verdict

Make Me An Offer has solid claims on form but, along with the down graded Loves Bidding, has been done few favours with the draw and a chance is taken with the newcomer Rainbow Fox. Richard Fahey is not exactly known for his prowess with first time out two-year-olds but the selection makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and may be worth chancing from stall three. Almora Guru has shown a reasonable level of form but is another with a difficult draw, while Pat Will looks to be going the right way but lacks the pace to take advantage of his draw. Dress To Impress gave little sign for encouragement on his debut and a chance is taken with Rainbow Fox.
