In depth
Verdict
Isola Rossa won over 7f back in November but IF YOU DARE has the more recent form. The latter went close on Polytrack before romping home over today’s trip at Southwell and can defy a penalty. Seesawing placed over track and trip on last month’s belated debut but is conceding weight to the three-year-olds on this occasion. Boomshalaa drops down in trip on his return to action and is a likely improver along with River Tweed.
