Sarasota went close over 7f at Wolverhampton last time but never threatened on her only previous effort over today’s trip. RED TYCOON is preferred having tumbled down the weights and narrowly beaten over 6f at Lingfield recently. First-time cheekpieces may bring further improvement and he gets the vote in a weak contest. The Special One’s placed effort at Newmarket last month came over the minimum trip while Devil Or Angel has only raced over 5f so far but should be sharper for a recent comeback.
