In depth
Verdict
Tintoretto went close over today’s trip at Wolverhampton and the headgear is back on for this. But it could pay to stick with EPSOM FAITHFULL in her current form as she’s raised only 2lb attempting to land a hat-trick of course and distance victories. Arctician is a novice winner and returns to action along with Silver Samurai while Chief Little Hawk has yet to match his earlier form in Ireland though has tumbled down the weights for new connections.
