In depth
Verdict
ATAILOF TWO CITIES was staying on behind the prolific Ben Lilly over 1m6f at Redcar so this trip looks certain to suit and she gets the vote by default against out of form rivals. Irish Minister has run poorly over hurdles since just beaten over 1m4f here while Amourie has never been further than the latter trip. Geyser hasn't been seen since scoring over hurdles at Sedgefield in November and though Dolphin Village has won ten races he's been in poor form this summer after winning at Chelmsford in February.
