In depth

Verdict

GLOBAL HOPE missed out by only a head over track and trip a week ago with Al Suil Eile back in third and Global Melody finishing fourth. The latter has since boosted the form with a victory over the minimum trip here and Gay Kellaway’s charge is taken to go one better racing off the same mark. The Right Choice has a shout on an earlier second over course and distance and is preferred to Requited of the remainder.
