Verdict
To The Rescue ran well on his debut when third behind In A Silent Way and with normal improvement he will be hard to beat. Staff Nurse was doing all her best work at the finish when third behind Queen's Victory over the minimum trip and she will relish this longer trip. Self Evident is very well bred and from a shrewd yard and any market move would be significant. Shingles ran well on his debut but was a disappointing favourite last time out and will need to bounce back to his best to score.
