The tentative selection is course winner KOTARI who returns to the Flat on a handy mark, with Market House next on the list.
There looks to be plenty of pace on in this race and that could suit the David Menuisier-trained runner SHAFFRON perfectly. He looks very well handicapped based on some of his early-career runs, where he bumped into several smart horses. Switching back to grass may bring about more improvement and he could run a very big race at a nice price.
Price on Posting 8/1
His representative here, LIMESTONE, really caught my eye on his latest start in Ireland. For a brief moment he looked as though he might be struggling for pace, but when asked to quicken he produced a turn of foot that was extremely impressive.
The step up to 1m6f is unknown territory for many in this field, but based on the way he finished off his race over 1m5f, I don\'t see the extra furlong being an issue at all. In fact, it may bring out even more improvement.
