Verdict

Sholsang is probably best watched on a first start since September and since joining Ryan Potter from Ireland - unless the marker suggests otherwise. Gary Hanmer has his select summer string in good heart, although Patagonia has not been in the best of form on recent starts but does receive considerable weight all round and is down to a tempting mark. Judge Earle, also been beaten a long way the last twice, is therefore hard to support with confidence, whereas No Getaway found form with a smooth win a small three-runner affair at Newton Abbot. He's well treated on the best of his old form but PAWPAW is just preferred on this first start for a new yard. He was way below par last time but is usually a solid and consistent sort and has every chance if bouncing back to form.
