Verdict

Galloway Hills has been in good form lately at Lingfield and should run another sound race here while debutante Superego makes appeal on paper and is worth scrutiny in the betting. It isn't hard to see Tribal Quest and BLACK SAILS setting the standard however. The latter, out of War Front, posted credible efforts on turf in the summer and is much respected for Charlie Appleby but might play second fiddle this evening. Black Sails has won already at the Curragh and has also shaped pleasing in Group-race company in Ireland before leaving Ger Lyons. Archie Watson may have acquired himself a useful filly and she can start paying her way immediately on debut for her new yard.
