Verdict

Eilean Mor wasn't far behind Reason To Believe at Hamilton last time out and there's reason to believe with his advantage in the weights here he could make the frame again. Last Destination was beaten by some better sorts at Doncaster last month but against this opposition may be better however a stiffer test in stamina than this may be more suitable. Robert The Painter won a reasonable looking maiden at Redcar on debut and although not delivering on handicap debut at Ayr, may be closer this time. Paul Hanagan prefers the attentions of BRAVE DREAM and we take the hint. Kevin Ryan has a 50% record with two-year-olds here this season and can add to the tally with Brave Dream who only lost by a nose last time and should handle the ground. Rhythm Of Light is also worth considering despite underwhelming in the Ascendant Stakes at Haydock last month. Hat-trick seeker Jack Smudge could be the main danger in such good form and Azzurra Du Caprio will appreciate the drop back to six furlongs.
