Verdict
Raymond Tusk is fitted with blinkers after a couple of disappointing efforts while the progressive Autumn War faces a different and more difficult task today having completed a double over 1m6f in lesser company at Wolverhampton. SCARLET DRAGON (NAP) is at home at this level having won the Duke Of Edinburgh handicap at Ascot back in June and wasn’t beaten far when fourth over track and trip on his return from a lay-off. He gets the nod with winning partner Hollie Doyle back on board. Cardano went close at Newcastle last time but Centroid is preferred back up in distance after a recent second to Oslo.
