Verdict
RED SKYE DELIGHT is still a maiden but probably not for long judging by her recent runs at Chelmsford where she's twice been narrowly beaten over a mile. Dropping down in trip won't be a problem and she can finally get off the mark. Newgirlintown arrives from Ireland where she didn't run badly at Dundalk on just her second start for new connections but Flora Tristan is still a maiden after 18 starts and looked as though she needed further than this over the track and trip last week. Brigand ran poorly on Tapeta last time but has better form on Polytrack and isn't out of this.
