    Verdict

    Iron Express is pretty consistent, has run well here in the past, and receiving weight from Tierkely, can score here. The step up in trip is likely to suit Tierkely and he will make a bold bid to land the three-timer, although the sharp track might not be his first choice. Green Go won here on Saturday so is clearly in good heart, but that was not a strong event. Carew showed promise on his chasing debut here two runs ago, but he is stepping into unknown territory trip-wise. Jumbo's Dream is now 12 and last won a race in 1999.
