In depth
Verdict
Never Again has produced her best runs, including her only victory, on heavy ground but UK import Red Words improved on Polytrack last week and wouldn't need much more to get into the frame again. FREE RADICAL hasn't had much racing but there were definite signs of progress at Listowel last month and today's better conditions can see him land this moderate contest. This could be the correct trip for Tap Focus, who has run poorly over further recently, while Tommy Stack tries the beautifully-bred K Rock in blinkers on his return from a long break.
