Verdict
Whispered Times is back on a winning mark and was only beaten half-a-length in a claimer over a mile here last time. Keep It Dark and Rio Cobolo both have a chance on their best form while Red Paladin looks the pick of the three-year-olds on his remarkable win at Doncaster last month, where he overtook the entire field inside the final quarter-mile having been reluctant to grab the bit in the early stages. But he looks quirky and is closely matched with FEVER FEW on a line through Doncaster second Imaginary World. Jane Chapple-Hyam's filly gets the vote with Jupiter Fidius possibly best of the rest.
