Verdict
Bispham Green and Millie N Aire look likely improvers dropping down in trip but one of the newcomers may well prove good enough in this and RED EXPLORER is preferred. He's related to five winners in America and a chance is taken he can live up to his 130,000gns price tag and score at the first time of asking. Secret Look is a half-brother to three winning two-year-olds and Spirit Of Parkes can count the speedy Doctor Parkes among his four winning relatives. Mitchell is a half-brother to multiple winning sprinter Pepper Lane and is another to consider on his racecourse debut for a yard in fine form.
