Verdict

BAROSSA RED and This Girl were both successful over track and trip last month. The former was tackling heavy going for the first time but took to it like a duck to water and a follow-up may be on the cards after recent rain. Storm Ahead has been treading water off similar marks since scoring at Doncaster in June but Leicester runner-up Greek Hero is respected along with Salam Zayed. Amjaady has been racing over further but did appear suited by give in the ground at Leicester.
