Verdict

Tadaawol landed a gamble to win last year’s renewal off the same mark and is worth a second glance despite his modest recent form. But ATHOLLBLAIR BOY (NAP) was narrowly beaten over 6f at Doncaster last week and returns to today’s trip for the first time since winning at the latter track in June. Nigel Tinkler’s charge gets the vote ahead of So Macho, whose recent win at Brighton came in a maiden. Oriental Lilly is best at Newcastle having won just the once in 28 starts on Turf while Saisons D'Or’s form has tapered off since going close at Ripon in July.
