Verdict
It could pay to stick with TRADING here. He won over 6f last month and steps up to a mile for the first time today, but he wasn't stopping when scoring over 7f at Catterick before that and is taken to land his hat-trick. Fire Crystal just held off Areef to win at Bath on her latest start and there should be more to come from her, while Rapturous Applause produced his best effort yet when runner-up at Redcar during the week and is another to consider. Philharmonic Hall disappointed at Kempton last time but better is expected back on turf in first-time blinkers.
