In depth
Verdict
Carry On Cleo, Tiger Spice and Home are the shortlisted trio here with Carry On Cleo set to follow up a win last time. Having been placed three times in maidens, Home was a decent third in a similar contest to this over the course and distance. He can go well again but looks a little one paced. Carry on Cleo is three pounds worse off with Tiger Spice for a narrow beating last time but Tiger Spice appeared to hold a leading chance on the book and was consequently made favourite but disappointed. He is not the most reliable of characters and despite the weight turn around Carry On Cleo appears to have the better attitude and can win again.
