        Verdict

        Peter Chapple-Hyam's Red Affleck has shown a decent level of form in his two starts so far and is taken to gain his first success, with the newcomers Blue Torpedo and Esrar likely to provide the main opposition. The selection looked in need of further when third behind Von Wessex on his Yarmouth debut and, not surprisingly, stepped up on that effort when upped to seven furlongs at Newmarket last month. A reproduction of his effort there may suffice for the son of Nicholas, who is preferred to Blue Torpedo. Amanda Perrett's son of Rahy is a half-brother to several winners and hails from a yard that can ready one first time out. He probably rates a bigger threat than Marcus Tregoning's Esrar. The son of Mujadil is also well related but the stable has been rather quiet of late and he may be best watched. John Dunlop's Empangeni is bred to come into his own over middle distances next season so is probably best left out of calculations and of more interest may be the other newcomer, Jamie Osborne's Mr Mayfair, who is a half-brother to useful sprinters Pulse and Whistler. Paul Cole's Belly Dancer and the Peter Harris-trained Marchetta have both shown ability but do not have the form to match that of Red Affleck, who holds solid claims and gets the vote.
