Verdict
Both Redemptive and Alix James have a shout on these terms but were due to run yesterday at Yarmouth and Musselburgh respectively. Al Suil Eile won a seller here last year and has scored at Southwell subsequently while Voltaic over 6f won on heavy going at this time last season. The Big House scored at Catterick last month but SONG OF THE ISLES has the edge on today’s terms and it was soft ground when Heather Main’s filly won at Chepstow in July.
