Verdict

Hugo ‘n Taz was an impressive winner last time out but the fast underfoot conditions here are not in his favour, while Girly Girl has been out of sorts in her recent races. Graineyhill is another who would prefer softer going, so ALL’S QUIET can take this. He ran reasonably well when placing at Downpatrick in similar conditions and isn’t on a bad mark. Draycott Place has a chance of making the frame off his current mark.
