Verdict
OH THIS IS US makes most appeal both at the weights and on recent form. He beat Apex King when landing a decent handicap over a mile at Lingfield a fortnight ago but this shorter trip is no problem on last year’s placed effort in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster. The progressive pair, Documenting and Island Of Life, have a further improvement to find on these terms but may well figure with the latter preferred representing last year’s winning yard while there is little separating the remainder at the weights. Cardsharp and Straight Right could go well and are preferred to Keystroke but Arcanada has plenty to find with the selection.
