Verdict

Scarlet Dragon hasn’t really pulled up any trees since switching to Eve Johnson Houghton’s yard and isn’t getting any younger. John Flint’s pair, Carp Kid and Rival, are also best watched while Marion's Boy has a poor record on Turf. Eton Blue beat Carp Kid here in April but turned in a shocker when favourite last time at Newbury. TIGER BEETLE is still a maiden but has placed in his last six outings and may enjoy a change of luck this evening.
