Verdict

One More Go looks the obvious one here after his debut third at Wetherby two weeks ago where he finished well ahead of Lord Rob and Nowreyna. He gets 7lb from surprise Carlisle winner Virnon but Richard Fahey's pair, Lexi's Girl and Tethra, are both open to improvement and Sand Blast is Flat-bred. QAFFAAL is by Street Cry out of a Listed winner on the level. He has to be of interest making his racecourse debut in a race like this and gets the nod.
