Verdict
Only three of these have any worthwhile form including the penalised Train To Georgia, who made a winning start at Lingfield back in March and steps up in trip along with SAFFRAN. The latter made a promising start when third at Nottingham and the runner-up has since franked the form. Breeding suggests Simon Crisford’s charge will appreciate this extra distance and may just edge out Dilmun Dynasty. The latter returned a losing favourite over today’s trip at Chelmsford last time though the runner-up has subsequently won a maiden and this return to Turf may help. Arcadienne may prove best of the rest.
