Verdict
Wesley Ward runs Ruthin and Golden Bell, who both made all to win easily at the same fixture at Keeneland on their respective debuts. The former beat subsequent winner Artos, due to run in the first race on the card, and Frankie is doing the steering. Amalfi Coast drops back down in trip with a tongue-tie applied after scoring over 6f in soft ground at the Curragh while compatriot Albion Square won at Navan last month and Armor made a winning start at Doncaster back in April. Dig Two defied a penalty in novice company on the all-weather last time but a chance is taken on TIPPERARY SUNSET. The latter made a winning debut at Hamilton before making all in a conditions race at Beverley and may improve further on today’s faster ground. Chipotle struggled in soft going last time but won a conditions race over track and trip earlier and is preferred to both Boonie and Flaming Rib on that form.
