Most of these look high enough in the weights and RED MIRAGE lost his unbeaten record off today’s mark at Newcastle last time. But this looks easier and he gets another chance debuting on the Turf. Corvair finished ahead of Typhoon Ten when only fourth at Leicester while Rovaniemi is usually thereabouts without winning. Musicality is back up in distance today while Star Of Orion should be sharper for last month’s comeback.
