Verdict
TOPAMICHI finished clear of the rest of the the field when going very close at Redcar last time and that's the best form on show. Mark Tompkins looks to have found him a good opportunity here back on his favoured soft ground. Polytrack winner Entrapping is unexposed on this surface and may figure but Little Indian and Brynford's all-weather wins came over shorter trips. Ishisoba's breeding suggests she'll appreciate this longer trip after a second over 7f and Loraine is open to further progress.
