Verdict

Irondale Express has the highest rating of these but has struggled to get his head in front. It's possible that the drop into a claimer will do the trick but he's hardly a reliable prospect. Gabrial The Thug may not enjoy the ground, his only victory so far having come on good to firm going, though he finished ahead of the tailed-off Iftikaar at Musselburgh last month. HEARTSTRINGS has a bit to find at the weights but her latest third at Windsor was a better effort and not the first time she's run well on soft going. Mick Channon's filly gets a tentative vote.
