In depth

Verdict

SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD has turned into a tough, consistent sprinter on all-weather surfaces and is now rated on a career-high mark of 70 after a battling Chelmsford success last month. This is a tough ask but he gets on famously with Marco Ghiani and seems sure to run his race. Drawn eight is a possible negative but he should go well. Good Earth scored with any amount in hand at Brighton on Monday to make it three from four this term and looks a threat for the Osborne team. He's yet to win over this trip although his running style suggests it should suit. Dana Forever - in a first-time visor - Al Asef and Tomshalfbrother are all respected in an open sprint.
