Verdict

KATHEEFA was well beaten at Redcar a week ago but had returned a four-length winner over track and trip before that. A similar effort should see Ruth Carr’s grey go close again. Falcao made all despite the unfavourable terms in a decent claimer over course and distance last week but it remains to be seen if he can repeat that here while Socialites Red finished in front of Rasheeq and The Golden Cue when runner-up at the same meeting though failed to threaten the winner. Sir Ottoman and Pushkin Museum have been in good form elsewhere on the all-weather with the former debuting on this surface.
