Verdict

TOURIST seems a rejuvenated character at present and he can take the feature at the expense of Arteus and Istiqdaam. Tourist finished behind Arteus when they last met but he enjoys a pull at the weights tonight and that might be just enough to turn the tables. Autumn Blades will reoppose the pair though we suspect he might just be high enough in the handicap at present. Istiqdaam hails from the resurgent Mick Easterby yard. He comfortably had the measure of Striker Torres and could be progressing further. Chief Exec can be a tricky ride so Luke Morris will require all his powers of persuasion from stall 11. Gallantry got no room at a vital stage last time out so the form of his run can be readily ignored. Desert Dreamer is more regularly seen at Lingfield rather than Dunstall Park. His recent claiming form might not be that bad given that the first and third in that race are useful horses in their own right. Miranda's Girl has kept busy in handicaps at Dundalk so the Irish raider will not lack for racefitness. Brierty is tried in cheekpieces for the first time. Ravi River is best of the rest. Tourist is the call in a race where very few can be ruled out with any degree of certainty.
