In depth
Verdict
Labrett comes here in good form having just failed to land the valuable ladies race at Ascot. He has more to do off a 4lb higher mark, but a bigger worry is his low draw. The consistent Tribal Prince cannot be left out of calculations, neither can recent Folkestone winner Scarrottoo. The latter, who won three races this time last year, looks to be improving and will be difficult to beat from his high draw, but the one they all have to beat is Curfew, who turned in her best effort to date when just touched off by the prolific winner Platinum Duke over this trip at Redcar.
