Verdict

Koropick won a Group 3 earlier in his career but has yet to reproduce that form for current connections, despite a recent second at Musselburgh. Global Humor is probably better over further and was behind Sound Of Iona and Good Luck Fox at Musselburgh in July while Machree was a couple of lengths behind Never Dark at the same track more recently, though is 4lb better off. BUNIANN (NAP) got no sort of run when fourth behind stablemate Harrogate at Ripon. The third and fifth have both won since and Paul Hanagan’s mount deserves a change of luck. Amor de Mi Vida is preferred to Macho Pride of the three-year-olds with a poor run at Salisbury last month coming over 6f.
