In depth
Verdict
TAWAAFOQ (NAP) didn't get the run of the race when tackling 7f here earlier this month but his two previous visits resulted in victories over the trip and he's handed the vote. Atty's Edge has done almost all of his racing over the minimum, which looks his best trip, while Red Bravo doesn't win often and is best on ground with some give. Some rain would aid his cause, as it might Diamond Cottage, who is 0-14 and has been finding the ground too fast in recent starts.
