Verdict

Under Curfew placed yet again when third at Wolverhampton and has a poor strike-rate on the all-weather. Tilsworth Ony Ta hasn’t won in 15 attempts on artificial surfaces though scored at Bath a fortnight ago while VOODOO RAY has won twice at Brighton this year. The latter is unexposed on this surface so gets the vote. Deep Spirit won at Yarmouth last month and Eyes finished closer at Newcastle last time and they look best of the rest.
