In depth
Verdict
A small field goes to post for this contest and it looks a match between Tabarka and After All and we will take a chance on Tabarka. The filly from the Paul Blockley yard has shown enough on her two runs to date to suggest she can win a race of this nature and a reproduction of her latest fifth behind Comptons Eleven would make her hard to beat. After All rates the main danger but she will need to improve significantly on her recent Aw run at Lingfield to score. Of the remainder Chicago Bond is from a yard in form and he is sure to have come on for his debut effort but we are happy to side with Tabarka.
