This won’t take much winning and it’s difficult to look beyond top weight TRED SOFTLY. John Quinn’s raider carries a penalty for a narrow victory over this trip at Wolverhampton and has his first run on Polytrack but he was value for more than the winning margin at Dunstall Park and that is much the best recent form. Rianna Star should be suited by this step up in distance and rates the danger as Lobster Cocktail and Galuppi are proving hard to place. The others have much to prove.
