Verdict
SWORN TIGRESS is the selection ahead of Amazing Blue Sky and Deauville Flyer. George Baker was able to exploit a favourable handicap mark to score on a number of occasions on the all-weather but he has always believed that this horse will get 1m4f. Now is the time for the proof. Amazing Blue Sky is a likeable enough individual. He stays 1m2f well enough and probably will get the extra couple of furlongs if the going stays as it is. Deauville Flyer represents a yard that are saddling winners under both codes so watch out for him in the market. Southern Regent is better known as a hurdler these days but he wouldn't be the first horse that John Quinn has been able to successfully switch. The Oil Magnate returns from a sizeable absence. He looked useful a couple of seasons ago and would be a player if retaining ability. Ian Williams often does well with John Dunlop's castoffs so Dalhaan, who returns from absence, is worthy of note. Plenty of imponderables though Sworn Tigress seems to have least negatives in our analysis.
