      Verdict

      This looks plain sailing for Think Tank who will be a short price to score again at the expense of Iron Temptress. Mark Johnston's juveniles are in hot form this season and this son of Robellino added to the Middleham stable's tally when scooting in at Ayr in May. A laid back sort, he took time to get into top gear but once asked, quickened away in the style of a useful sort. There were plenty of whispers for him before he made his debut at Newcastle earlier and it was only greenness that cost him. He will be even better over seven furlongs and gets that trip here. Iron Temptress looks booked for second, having far more experience than the the rest, including a hard fought win at Beverley on her second racecourse appearance. Think Tank is a confident, if obvious selection in the opener.
