Verdict
Rated 74, Hombre Rojo proved a shade disappointing last time when a well beaten third and SACRED TRUST may well improve past him today. The latter was unfancied in the betting when also third at Lingfield on his racecourse debut and Hugo Palmer's colt should go close with normal progress. Lord Huntingdon and Final Choice made little impression on their respective introductions and one of the newcomers could prove a bigger threat. That includes Paranormal but Dangerous Thought and Ras Al Mal are both related to pattern race winners and make more appeal.
