Verdict

Tropical Son is given the vote here with Coolfore Jade and Buz Kiri rated as the main dangers. The selection has been knocking on the door of late and put up another creditable effort when third behind Frontlinefinancier at Wolverhampton last time. The drop in trip will suit and although he is proving difficult to win with he is taken to get his head in front. Coolfore Jade rates the main danger as she ran well in this grade last time at Wolverhampton over 9f. The step up in trip will suit and she is capable of pushing our selection all the way. Buz Kiri failed to get home last time so will be suited by the drop in trip. He would certainly have claims on the pick of his form but he does have a tendency to find at least one too good and on that basis we will take him on. The booking of Richard Hughes catches the eye on Mr Strowger so he is worth noting in the market, but for the winner we return to Tropical Son.
