Verdict
Cool Isle gets the vote over Fraamex, with Angelina Bankes, and Fusili others worth noting in this weak contest. Kevin Ryan can have no complaints with the achievements of his juveniles on Turf this season, and although his all-weather runners are not in the same league, they should still be kept on the right side of. Cool Isle has improved of late, both for the step up in trip and drop to selling company, finishing runner-up on her last two starts. Although this claimer is ever so slightly tougher, she can be fancied to turn the tables on Angelina Bankes who beat her to the tune of a length and a half last time. On the revised terms and with another furlong expected to be in her favour, Cool Isle can reverse the form. Of the rest, Fraamex finished a creditable fourth on the Southwell fibresand on his debut and drops in class, while Fusili would have definite claims on his second in a Newmarket nursery this summer, but has gone off the boil of late, but again, will be helped by the ease in grade. We take Cool Isle, with conditions in her favour here, to prevail.
