Verdict
Reminiscent has a clear chance at the ratings and will make a bold bid to land the spoils here. He finished second to Toni Alcala last time, just ahead of Fight The Feeling (who runs earlier in the day), comes here in good form and is the TEAMtalk selection. Escalade has little in the way of AW form and is stepping up in trip. Smooth Passage is well bred but has failed to live up to her blue-blooded status thus far. Be Warned has won four times over course and distance but should find one or two too good for him. Prince Prospect was staying on over an extended-nine furlongs last time and could improve again for the trip. Sudden Flight is entitled to place claims and probably holds a similar claim to Western Ridge. Ride The Tiger is a course and distance winner but needs to improve on the bare ratings. Hamlyn, who is bred for dirt racing, failed to win in Ireland and now makes is British debut. His dam won seven times in the USA and is from the same family as Dancing Brave.
