In depth
Verdict
Red Sail gets the confident vote with Tahtheeb and Topkat rating the main dangers. The selection was a good third on her debut behind Castleton, she is sure to have learnt from the experience and given nominal improvement she will be hard to beat. Tahtheeb rates the main danger she is impeccably bred and is worth noting in the market. Topkat is another that could go well he was a good second behind Fuel Cell last time and is sure to improve but she may be seen to better effect when she goes handicapping. Of the remainder Coppice showed enough on her debut to suggest she should win a race of this nature and with her stable in top for she is noting in the market but for the winner we return to Red Sail.
