Verdict

NORTHCLIFF is far more exposed than his rivals and is given another chance to lose his maiden tag. His juvenile form is the best on offer and there have been excuses for him the last twice. He also steps back up to a sixth furlong for the first time this season, a trip over which he produced his best performances last term. Talha needs to be forgiven a disappointing effort last month when backed into odds-on but coming home last of three. Something was presumable amiss that day and he's every chance on his three previous runner-up efforts, especially when a good second at Doncaster on reappearance. Elusive Angel was backed into favouritism when beaten just half a length on her Kempton debut and is also well respected with improvement anticipated for her in-form yard.
