In depth
Verdict
Tropics seems best on the all-weather nowadays while Goodnight Girl went close at Chelmsford on her reappearance though won easily over track and trip on her last visit here in August. Victory Angel was set a stiff task on her comeback and debut for a new yard and could go well while Vegas Boy finished in front of Equitation when runner-up at Ascot recently though that was in soft ground and he had earlier finished behind STORM OVER at Chelmsford. The latter was winning higher grade sprints last year and George Scott’s new charge may come good again in this.
