Verdict

A tough opener for punters to evaluate but SYLAS INGS has not done a lot wrong thus far and if the reapplication of a tongue strap works, he will take plenty of beating. Seeking Glory has a modest draw though the booking of Paul Hanagan is considered to be a positive. Quite A Catch was anticipated in the betting to do quite some better than he actually did at Wolverhampton. Hurricane Lady looks one to watch with a view to handicaps over further. Masonic Lady's fifth in the Tattersalls Trophy at Newmarket entitles her to consideration whilst Looksmart has had a number of chances and is probably on the downgrade.
