Verdict

Gassal is the tentative suggestion here although Amber Sunset and Tropical Paradise have shown ability whilst Eliza Griffith, Sister Clement and Wohaida are interesting newcomers. The selection made her debut on quick ground at Hamilton and finished some way behind a couple of useful looking prospects in third. She looked sure to benefit from that initial experience and was running on quite pleasingly at the finish. Amber Sunset achieved more at Goodwood but may not be helped by being drawn out in ten this evening. She must be respected though as connections had given her a number of entries over the coming days and are sure to have chosen their target carefully. Tropical Paradise also showed up well in a maiden at Sandown which is already beginning to work out but is another that has been done no favours by the draw judged on previous meetings here. Mick Channon and Richard Hannon have strong juvenile teams at their disposal and their runners must be respected whilst Sister Clement also looks the part on paper but we're happy to take a chance with Gassal.
