Verdict

Salisbury winner Ivors Involvement would prefer some cut in the ground but TANAWAR is at home on fast going. He bids for a treble having followed up a win at Redcar with a recent success at Carlisle. Ruth Carr's charge is taken to confirm latest running with Red Paladin, who has subsequently gone close at Hamilton. Talent Scout has been thereabouts in plating races of late but Stardrifter makes more appeal in this company off his current mark.
