Verdict
Lady Del Sol, Forjat and On the High Tops look the trio to focus on here, with Lady Del Sol taken to make a minor upset. Forjat will be a popular choice from the in form Michael Jarvis team, and he won in game style last time on his debut. The form is hard to weigh up and a chance is taken with LADY DEL SOL. Her Redcar success has been franked and she hails from a yard who have a classy juvenile and should know the time of day. That win came at Redcar where she had earlier run a promising second on debut. On the High Tops ran well in a good race last time to be a close third, and Tom Tate's runner won well on debut, and the form is solid. However, we take Lady del Sol to spring a surprise.
