Verdict

Tinto beat Rathbone a short-head in this last year and they meet on the same terms though the latter was apprentice-ridden that day. Jason Hart takes over and his mount made a bold bid to lead all on softer ground at Doncaster last month. Hiya Maite, a dual winner on Tapeta, enjoyed the cut in the ground when scoring at Wetherby though this is a better race. Bay Breeze has also been in better form on ground with plenty of give but EMPEROR SPIRIT (NAP) looks the one to beat. He was having only his second start for Robert Cowell when landing a lucrative handicap on Polytrack at Lingfield and is only 2lb higher.
