Verdict
Muay Thai finished in front of Million Reasons when only fourth at Kempton though will have appreciated the outing and is preferred to stablemate Host, who disappointed here last time. Laxton Ladd ran his best race so far when going close over track and trip and makes more appeal than Love Of Zoffany, who remains 6lb higher than his earlier success here, while Tashbeeh is worth a second glance debuting for Mick Appleby’s yard. But AVIARY has the most scope of these handicapping for the first time having finished second to an odds-on favourite at Lingfield and Roger Charlton’s filly gets the vote.
