Verdict
Sidewinder wasn’t beaten far in a higher grade here last time but he is still awaiting a first victory. Revel, owned by Qatar Racing, achieved that at Kempton last time but this will be a first run on Tapeta. Dark Destroyer got off the mark at Kempton on his first attempt at this trip so goes on the short-list but last year’s Brighton winner didn’t show much over 6f here on his first run since being gelded. LIGHTOLLER is only a speculative selection as he steps up from sprint distances on his first start on the all-weather after a break. However, he had form at a decent level on Turf in his first season and should stay being a half-brother to a 1m2f winner in Ireland. Bazwind won over 1m1f here last time but is consistent and should run his race again.
