Verdict
TRALEE HILLS is a previous course winner seeking an eight career victory. There was nothing wrong with his comeback run at Windsor and he won’t be far away in this granted luck in-running. Zikany placed here off this mark less than a year ago and Jim Crowley keeps faith with Amanda Perrett’s four-year-old while Rumi could have more to offer switching to Turf. Way Of Life has been on a roll on the all-weather while Oriental Art was knocking on the door in this grade last year. Swiss Mistress and Saigon remain unexposed with Lingfield winner Moel Arthur another who may have further improvement in him.
