Verdict

Southern raider Tusk didn't achieve much when third behind Pinkerton at Windsor, so this looks best left to Rutters Renegade, who will be suited by the step up in trip. Financial Future, is a full brother to the prolific All-Weather winner Tweed and a half-brother to the useful Baron Ferdinand and Love Everlasting. He has been entered in next years Vodafone Derby and is clearly held in high regard, but the juveniles from that yard have tended to need their first outing of the season and is passed over.
