Verdict
Stromboli was only beaten a neck at Ripon last month and Libertus has gone close twice on the Polytrack at Lingfield this year. Soi Dao was only beaten a length over 7f here in February and has placed three times on Turf since. Carlton And Co is the least exposed and makes her all-weather debut as does INTERNATIONAL BOY. Richard Fahey’s gelding is 0-16 but this represents a drop in grade and he was rated 13lb higher on Turf around this time last year.
