Verdict

Cliff Wind won at Wolverhampton last month but never figured off today’s higher mark last time. True Belief is usually thereabouts on the all-weather and Don'tyouwantmebaby ran her best race so far when runner-up at Wolverhampton. Both City Escape and RADETSKY posted improved efforts handicapping for the first time with the latter finishing second at Chelmsford and he gets a speculative vote to go one better in an open contest. Late Arrival is another to consider for a yard in red-hot form but has the worse of the draw on his handicap debut.
