Verdict

Maestro Mac won over today’s trip at Yarmouth before finding one too good on his latest start at Goodwood with Hard Toffee and Archimento both well beaten. But SINGAPORE SLING can be forgiven a poor effort at Newmarket when appearing not to stay the 1m4f trip and he gets another chance on an earlier second over 1m2f at Lingfield. Priors Brook won at Chepstow in June and can race off a similar mark today while Tan Arabiq has an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause.
