Verdict

Tilsworth Rose finished runner-up when last at the track but that was in lowly Class 7 company. GEORGE THOMAS is preferred having beaten Angel Force when scoring at Lingfield before finding Zapper Cass too good in a higher grade sprint over track and trip a couple of days ago. He gets the vote though Red Stripes is another dropping down in class having finished in front of Tan when fourth here last time and he can figure. Global Melody’s recent efforts here have been over a longer trip and the returning Under Curfew has also been racing over further.
