Verdict

A thoroughly competitive 6f sprint. Swift Approval has twice run well since joining Phil McEntee, but he's inconvenienced by the widest draw of all in stall 15. The three-year-old's Iva Reflection and Grace And Virtue could feasibly have more too offer, whilst it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the C&D winner Musharrif could improve for his Hamilton run. Final Frontier and Kindly are closely matched, although the strong suspicion is that Mick Easterby's mare will once more prevail in that battle. However, the solution may ultimately lie with Paul Midgley's fairly-weighted WAR WHISPER who missed the break when fourth to stablemate Saluti here (5f) latest.
  1. War Whisper
  2. Kindly
  3. Musharrif
