Verdict

After three second-placed finishes the consistent Inferno Sacree looks worth a try over this longer trip, while Malago Rose is noteworthy off bottom weight, with Bradley Harris easing the task further with his 3lb claim. However, SNAPDANCE, who was a close second over C&D on his penultimate start, looks the safest option given he has looked progressive since being stepped up in distance. Harry Kimber gets on well with the selection and can guide the low-mileage seven-year-old to a first career win.
