Verdict
Red Charmer was placed in an amateurs’ race at Newmarket recently but drops down in trip today along with Daddies Girl. Rum Runner is partnered by one of the leading amateur riders but has ran poorly either side of scoring at Newmarket and Gallipoli looks more reliable. The latter was placed in Class 2 company on the all-weather recently but CLIFFS OF CAPRI may just edge this. Jamie Osborne’s charge wasn’t beaten far when fifth in a valuable handicap over track and trip last time and won one of these events over course and distance in July.
