Verdict

Alfie Sherrin looks an obvious contender along with Queen Poline and Woolfall Treasure, whilst Ian Williams is having a good season and in Fredo he has a live contender, however preference is for TARATEENO. The selection's form has been repeatedly franked and whilst this is a step up in grade, he certainly deserves it. Only time will tell whether a stone higher mark is beyond him, however he likes soft ground, is progressive and has form in big fields. Alfie Sherrin was well-fancied when third to Mr Thriller at Chepstow in October. However this longer trip looks like it will suit, as will the better ground, and this Kayf Tara gelding is exciting. Tot Of The Knar needs to bounce back, Elusive Dream has the talent to feature and is falling down the weights, but one cannot help feeling that he is in to set the weights for his stablemate. Squadron is starting to look well-treated, So Now doesn't, whilst Teenage Idol and Queen Poline are unexposed novices who are stepping up to the plate. Fredo holds a few of these on a form line through Volador, whilst better is expected from Quinz after a break and now tacking better ground; his beating of Burton Port in April is top form. An open race as expected, with narrow preference for Tarateeno.
