In depth

Verdict

FIDRA BAY was only headed close home when second to Tobaggan's Fire over this trip at Redcar and any improvement on that would make Alan Swinbank's filly hard to beat. Magical Lasso, Lady Canford and Planetaria have all had a run on the all-weather and Strathearn and Island Flame could figure if fully wound-up. Allfredandnobell may be the pick of the remainder with Graham Lee doing the steering.
