Verdict

TAVENER will likely prove popular given the presence of Serena Brotherton in the saddle. He was beaten less than a length over today’s trip at Kempton last time and that’s the best recent form on offer. Art Echo was placed at Wolverhampton back in July but Islay Mist never figured here last week having placed on a couple of occasions before that. Mime Dance has been beaten out of sight either side of winning at Lingfield but Caribbean Spring won under Rosie Margarson at Southwell last year, though hasn’t raced since April.
