Verdict
A wide-open finale. Gorgeous Suspect was well supported to land a maiden but faces a tough ask on handicap debut off joint top weight. Fill The Tank has found improved form on recent starts but now needs to prove as effective over this half-mile shorter trip off a notably higher handicap mark.The market may reflect the chance of the returning From The Ashes and both Bents Hollow and Tomjackwilliam are others to watch for returning an absence. Similar comments apply to Temptationinmilan but GREAT ISLAND makes most appeal on the back of an impressive win latest with trip and ground to suit.
