In depth
Verdict
RED ISLAND found one too good when sent off favourite on the Turf course at Lingfield last time. But she finished a long way in front of Fast Endeavour and has stronger form than Picture Poet so should make a bold bid to go one better. Newcomers to monitor in the betting include Be Proud, a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather, while Micronize is related to a Listed winner and Capala can include successful sprinters among his five winning relatives.
