Verdict

Lord Redsgirth won twice here for Gordon Elliott but has shown next to nothing since joining Lucy Normile. Solway Dornal was second off a higher mark at Market Rasen in March and this versatile sort must have leading claims but INDIGO ISLAND is only a five-year-old so probably has a bit more scope and this looks a good opportunity for him to get off the mark having run well over hurdles here last month. Personal Shopper has ability and looks the pick of the remainder under a 5lb claimer.
