Verdict

The Rutland Rebel won over 2m here last month and Nelson River was successful over the same distance here earlier. Looking For Carl finished runner-up over 2m at Kempton on his return to the Flat while both Estrela Star, Contingency Fee and London Eye are usually in the mix over shorter trips. Cinzento has won over 1m5f this year but SAUCHIEHALL STREET placed over today’s distance at Chelmsford on his penultimate start and gets a speculative vote to end a long losing run off his current mark.
