Verdict

Stoneacre Boy holds an outstanding chance here and is favoured ahead of Succeed. As well as being ten pounds clear of his nearest rival based on those to have achieved a rating, that second-highest rated horse, Succeed, has a lot find with the selection based on formlines using a horse called Pauvic. He also races in first-time blinkers today, which could help things along. Of the others, Muktasb put in an improved showing last time, but he will need to find even more in order to win, while She Who Dares Wins would hold place claims based on her second to Shadow Jumper three runs ago, but her last two efforts have been modest. Island Green might show improvement for today's trip, Going Skint, who is from a fast family, will need to build on his six-furlong debut effort, Safaah drops in trip after two modest runs, and Signor Whippee has just one good run to his name. It all points us back to Stoneacre Boy, who get a solid vote.
