        Verdict

        George Stubbs has shown improved form for being stepped up in trip recently but has yet to prove his effectiveness over this far and preference is for Red Scorpion, who gets the nod over Western. The last mentioned, like George Stubbs, has yet to prove that he stays as far as this but John Akehurst's gelding stayed on well when scoring here over 1m5f last month and he has to be respected. There are no stamina doubts concerning Red Scorpion though. Mark Brisbourne's gelding has a string of respectable efforts over staying trips to his name, has slipped to a fair mark and has the assistance of a promising apprentice. He makes more appeal than the six-year-old Lady Laureate, who makes her first appearance on an artificial surface in nearly three years. The Brooke Sanders-trained Cantrip warrants respect on her best form, especially with Lisa Jones in the plate but we are happy to side with the proven stamina of Red Scorpion.
