Verdict

Strong Conviction ran his best race so far when beaten less than a length at Bath just over three weeks ago but he lacks the same scope as BOLD PREDICTION. Richard Hannon's colt was strongly fancied on his debut at Salisbury but didn't pick up as expected. He'll know more today, however. The Hannon team also run newcomer Shamaheart while Blessington and I'm Back are other debutants representing powerful yards. It's Taboo ran green on her introduction at Nottingham but showed some promise and is another who will improve for the experience.
