Verdict

Opt Out is the only course and distance winner but he's best on much faster ground while Saxonette doesn't win very often and is still on a high enough mark. Cadeaux Pearl won't mind the going and his last victory was from this mark but Irish raider Michael's Missile ran over a mile last time and could find a couple of these too quick. Tiger's Home appeared to lose his way last season and has changed stables. He is on a very attractive mark and showed up well for a long way on his debut for Iain Jardine at Hamilton but BLUE JACKET scored over 7f here last month before finding 5f on fast ground too sharp at Thirsk a week later. She's still on the upgrade and, with Emma Sayer's claim to aid her cause, should be good enough.
