Verdict
Attrazione has been in the mix on the Tapeta lately and finished in front of both Little Roman and Skyblue Expert when going close at Wolverhampton. But OK PAL has plenty of stamina in his pedigree and a chance is taken Tony Carroll’s colt stays the extra distance having finished runner-up over 6f here on his handicap debut when well ahead of Mam'zelle Dupont.
