Verdict

Thrave races mainly at Southwell though has won on Turf and will probably handle conditions. King Of Tonga ran well for second at Musselburgh 10 days ago and is only a pound higher but was disappointing at Haydock on Saturday. Ella McCain’s mount Zumurud is a previous course winner but Business didn’t look straightforward last year. THE GREAT HEIR is on a long losing run but had excuses on his first start for Adrian Nicholls at Doncaster. He was second off this mark at Newcastle over the winter and this represents his best opportunity for a while. Tahthmeen and Equidae also have claims in an open-looking finale.
