In depth
Verdict
Turks And Caicos looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account, with Blue Savanna and Iamback looking the main dangers. The three-year-old from the Patrick Haslam yard was a good second on his debut this season behind Cottingham and, if he can reproduce that effort here, will be hard to beat. Blue Savanna rates the main danger on his third in a seller over 10 furlongs a couple of runs ago but he has been tried from trips of seven furlongs to two miles and may be tripless. Iamback was second behind Heathyards Pride a couple of runs ago in a similar grade but was very disappointing last time. Of the remainder, the newcomer Paddy Boy would not have to be anything special to enter calculations but for the winner we return to Turks And Caicos.
