Verdict
Few make much appeal though Golden Whisper posted a better effort when third at Salisbury last time. Tiare has placed here in the past but has failed to build on that subsequently so LORD CHERRY gets the vote. The latter showed a big improvement over 6f at Yarmouth when handicapping for the first time and, given he was doing his best work in the closing stages, this extra distance will suit Stuart Williams’ charge. Alsamyah should be sharper today and Global Tycoon makes his handicap debut.
