In depth

Verdict

Not a strong race and FIGURITA is our call with Omne Antique and Tarabaloo the alternatives. Charlie Mann's horses are coming into their respective races in rude health and while Figurita unseated rider last time out, she was travelling well at the time. Omne Antique represents another in-form yard. The maiden does handle the surface but has been disappointing of late. Tarabaloo has shown glimmers of ability though today's going is a question mark. Pret A Thou is yet to convince over today's trip while Shake The Barley caught the eye with victory at Lingfield but supporters have had little to cheer since. Carrickmines has been the subject of market support on two of his last three racecourse starts but the bookies have been the only people to be smiling. Figurita can go well in a race where plenty have negatives.
