        Verdict

        Pleasure Garden was third on his handicap debut at Windsor last week and may well be suited by another step up in distance. Pearl Beach has a similar profile but Opine looked a tricky ride at Yarmouth. SCARLET RUBY is bred for middle-distances and this first run on Turf should coincide with an upturn in his fortunes so he’s preferred to the more-exposed Grimsthorpe Castle, who is tried in cheekpieces.
