Verdict

The 2YOs kick things off and BARRON BILL (5) makes plenty of appeal with a good trial win recently. Pike hopping on board today is a big tick and he showed good speed there, so the inside draw is a big tick for him. Can be on speed from the draw and make a statement on debut. OFFICIAL BUSINESS (7) has trial form around Barron Bill, hitting the line alongside him in his latest heat at Belmont. Chris Parnham sticks with him on debut and with that trial looking strong, he can get the job done on debut. DIXIE DOO (8) got the job done in a photo finish over 6f at Belmont last time out. Back in trip is a slight query, but he's shown he can run on strongly in his previous efforts. Can come home with a wet sail. ALL ON RED (1) will be fitter for the fresh run where he bumped into a smart horse. He's better than he showed there and can bounce back. LIGHT OF THE WORLD (6) trialled on the same day as Barron Bill and showed enough to suggest he can run well.
