Verdict

It's difficult to have much confidence in any of these. WORLD RECORD only won a lowly seller here last week but beat a couple of higher rated rivals despite unfavourable terms and may be good enough. Steal The Scene finished last of five on his reappearance but may do better here with Richard Hughes taking over the reins while Bush Beauty won at Wolverhampton in January beating Al's Memory but the latter is weighted to reverse running. Tango Sky has also won on the all-weather this year and may figure.
