Verdict

A number arrive with claims, including SHERKIN ISLAND who shaped with plenty of promise when third on debut in a Curragh maiden (10f) back in May. On that evidence, the drop in trip will hold no fears and, from a handy draw, she can be expected to go close. Handel, Arctician and Champion Green head up the dangers, whilst Kojin can't be ruled out either.
