Verdict

Caribbean Sunset has been in the mix at Ayr and has the beating of both Wee Fat Mac and Kraken Power on that form. But VARIETY ISLAND has been in decent form here looking to end a long losing run and it could be his turn today. The selection shares ownership with recent Catterick winner Mutanaaseq but the latter has yet to win on the all-weather but One For The Ladies beat Struck Gold when landing a classified race at Wolverhampton in July.
