Verdict

A number of these come into the race with strong claims, but the in-form Turtle Valley is still on a very attractive mark at present and can supplement his Haydock gains at the main expense of High Point and Classic Millennium. The seven-year-old acts on a variety of goings but, with the heavens predicted to open, he should not be inconvenienced whatever the ground. High Point has the ability to go close and is one to monitor in the betting; strong support will be significant. Classic Millennium is another game performer and gets on well with Lisa Jones. However, she will do well to get competitive in this company and appears to have place claims at best.
