Verdict

Island Music from the John Quinn yard could be the answer to this tricky contest; Atabaas Pride and and On Instinct rate the main dangers. The selection showed plenty of promise on her debut at Redcar when seventh behind Craggy Cat. She was getting the hang of things late on in that race and with that experience under her belt she should take plenty of beating today. Atabaas Pride looks an obvious danger as he has gone close on each of his last three starts and he wasn't beaten far by Fol Hollow last time. He looked a bit reluctant to go past the winner that day and as there are question marks over his attitude we will take him on. On Instinct improved on her debut to finish third behind Mey Blossom at Beverley last time. However, she was still beaten over 5l that day and she will neeed to improve again to get her head in front here. Kevin Ryan's Arcetri could prove best of the remainder, but for the winner we will stick with Island Music.
