In depth
Verdict
Red Sail has in the main been consistent, and can pay to follow here ahead of String Serenade, Iamback and Lenwade. Red Sail was a respectable third in a fillies' handicap at Folkestone just over three weeks ago, and although she has only one win to her credit so far, on the Lingfield Polytrack in May, the five-year-old looks worth supporting here despite having her fair share of weight. The opposition does not appear daunting, with perhaps String Serenade the main danger. Vince Smith's charge was an easy winner at Brighton in June and has been there or thereabouts since. Iamback has been placed three times on the all-weather recently, but is only rated in the thirties, while Lenwade has not won since last September and needs to improve markedly to figure. A low grade affair should be well within the capabilities of Red Sail.
