Verdict

Torrid looked a smart recruit early in his career and was a game winner over this trip at Redcar in April. Beaten behind a smart recruit of Luca Cumani's last time, he will not be far away at the finish here. AREEN HEART has run several good races in defeat and was a game winner over 7f at Beverley back in September. He went down in many notebooks when beaten just over a length last time and can return to the winners' circle in this contest. Town Charter will make a race of it but a bigger threat comes in the shape of Dark Profit. Twice a winner recently, he is in great heart at the moment and could well secure another victory.
