Verdict

Spithead showed improvement when fourth at Lingfield last time but still gives the impression a longer trip would suit. He looks best of those with experience, however, unless Tiger Prince can return to form after his recent poor effort at Beverley. Rio Cato is expected to finish closer but the newcomer CARAMEL SUNDAE makes most appeal as she's a half-sister to Polytrack Listed winner High Heel Sneakers and could prove good enough on her debut. Fellow newcomer Jumeirah Moon is worth noting along with Purr Along as the latter can count multiple all-weather winner Jeer among her relatives.
