In depth

Verdict

A couple of these should shape better back on the Tapeta including Burrows Seeside, who finished runner-up over track and trip back in April. Confrontational completed a double here earlier while both Late Arrival and Elegant Erin posted better efforts on Turf last time with the former preferred now back on a winning mark. GLENIFFER (NAP) bids for a hat-trick raised only 3lb for winning over course and distance and Jim Goldie’s charge looks worth sticking with in his current form.
