Verdict
TO THE BAR is fitted with a tongue-tie on debut for new connections. Clear of the rest at the weights, he won’t have to run anywhere near his mark to win this despite returning from an absence. Emerald Lady won at Ffos Las back in August and is preferred to Gordonstoun but the less exposed Solar Prophet has been competing in tougher races and may figure. The remainder are difficult to recommend on these terms.
