Verdict
A wide-open affair rounds off the meeting. Telori ran as if returning to form when finishing mid-division over a trip shorter than ideal last time. The return to 7f is sure to suit and with a good draw and Jimmy Quinn booked he could run well at a big price. Macanillo showed fair form on the flat in Germany, but he struggled to stay in two recent attempts over hurdles. He would have a chance on his best German form, but he is unproven on the surface. Teehee is game and consistent, and again run a good race when third to Celtic Mill last time. He has been given a break to freshen up and any market move would be significant. Stormy Shower was second behind Diamond Green in a seller last time out. This looks much more competitive, and he needs to improve again to figure. Crusoe won a moderate maiden over course and distance two runs ago, but has since been put in his place in a low grade handicap. Pharoahs Gold is from an in-form yard and although well-beaten by Flying Treaty last time, could go well with the drop in grade back in his favour.
