In depth
Verdict
Ignition should be able to kick start himself back into the winners enclosure with stable mate Bint II Sulton, Komreyev Star and Rossin Gold all worthy of consideration. Ignition has been a model of consistency this season winning round here over a mile last month and came back to his best to finish an eye catching second to Boo at Carlisle on his latest outing with the stable second string BintII Sulton not getting the best of runs back in fourth. The Brisbourne horses have started to perform well after a lean spell so Ignition is worth staying on the right side of. Komreyev Star will have to improve to score here but if coming back to form could pose a danger as could Rossin Gold whose first run of the season is best forgotten after running into trouble so is best judged on previous form which reads quite well. But for the winner we return to Ignition.
