In depth
Verdict
Cinnamon Hill is less exposed than most of her rivals, comes into this in good form following her win at Lingfield earlier this month, remains feasibly well treated and should handle the cut in the ground so she gets the vote to follow up, getting the verdict ahead of Memphis Man and Savile's Delight. The last mentioned has been running consistently well of late and should again be thereabouts but he may be a shade high in the weights now so looks best watched. Valentino Swing ran well on his return to turf on a soft surface at Warwick recently and has claims on that evidence, while Proud Killer ran well over seven furlongs last time and may not appreciate the drop back to six furlongs today. Blue Charm may struggle to give weight away all round and of more interest may be Memphis Man, who has been running consistently well on the Polytrack of late. Several of these have chances but it is Cinnamon Hill that gets the vote.
