Verdict

No shortage of pace and High Curragh can land this ahead of Littledotheyknow and Overstayed. The draw of seven is one where Kevin Ryan's charge can afford to sleep but the fact that title chasing Robert Winston is aboard should serve as a huge benefit to the chances of this horse. A winner of an Ayr maiden, he looked a different horse from that that had run so green at Beverley and we consider him worthy of our support. Littledodayno has to be respected as a Noseda runner up North. The form of her recent victory over Aspen Falls was upheld at Musselburgh earlier in the week and further improvement is likely. Overstayed came fifth in the Norfolk Stakes at York. He should be much more at home on today's going. Lyndalee won impressively in a weak fillies' race. She has had plenty of chances thus far and will need to have found more to play a part against the colts. Surely Truly, Master Incredible and Lucksin appear held on form. A fascinating race that can go to High Curragh.
