Verdict
Isle of Sark won on debut for Joseph O'Brien but has failed to follow up in ten tries and is hard to assess. He improved last time for the step up to 1m6f and is now asked to tackle two miles. Qoya, a dual winner for the Haggas yard last season, could relish this return to the Flat as he's disappointed in four hurdling runs for Alan King. He's worth noting in the market. Temporize landed his first two but hasn't struck since. His latest Newmarket third, however, gives him every chance and the trip is no problem. Mukha Magic was a Chelmsford scorer latest but this looks harder and GRAND PROVIDENCE is a risk worth taking. She's unexposed, receives substantial weight all round and should progress further after just three runs. The trip is an unknown, but is an interesting move from Andrew Balding.
