A weak contest with a speculative vote going to BALLET RED on her latest third at Bath, though she drops down in trip for this. Orliko won over today’s distance at Brighton before struggling at Salisbury last time but Almokhtaar has shown little so far, though this is easier than his latest task at Newbury. Starlight Red managed a third over 1m2f at Lingfield back in April while Canavese was placed on a couple of occasions last year but has beaten only one rival since returning to action.
