    Verdict

    Neither Vancouver nor Make My Heart Fly really threatened the winner when second at Southwell and Newton Abbot respectively in August but My Boy James could be interesting given he defied market expectations when third over 1m6f here in April. Faheem is a possible improver and Reddington and So She Says should be monitored for any market interest. TINTED ROSE was always prominent when third at Market Rasen in the spring and similar forcing tactics could pay dividends today.
