Blinkers on Rios Boy means that he needs consideration, however Scarlet Blade looks the type to improve for the step up to six furlongs and therefore he gets the vote, with Comghaire rated a danger. Plenty of shrewd trainers on show here so the market may provide some valuable clues, however Scarlet Blade has shaped with promise on two runs to date. The stable had a winner the other day and if the market is positive then they may strike again. Pat Haslam has a trio who need respect, and how they move in the market against each other may give an indication of their chances. The best of the three on form looks to be Elaine's Folly who was fifth on her debut here over the minimum trip. Comghaire ran a good race on his debut when unfancied and seeing as he wasn't beaten by too far then he must be afforded respect. An open affair, and Scarlet Blade gets the nomination.
