In depth
Verdict
Vin Rouge is upped in class and raised a further 5lb bidding for a hat-trick while Storm Chaser was allowed an easy lead when scoring at Nottingham earlier and has been beaten in both subsequent starts. Dance To Paris drops down in class while Good Soul won over today’s trip at Kempton last autumn and returns to action along with Oleg and Blame It On Sally. TRALEE HILLS has raced over shorter trips so far this year but finished runner-up at Nottingham when last seen over today’s distance. He’s 2lb lower for this and may prove the one to side with.
