Verdict

OUR PALADIN AL (2) is an exciting horse on resumption. He was narrowly beaten in the Aquanita during the winter after working through the grades impressively prior. No trial coming in is the big query, but he looks a horse better than this grade and he can return on a positive note. BELTA OF A SONG (10) just missed on resumption when flashing late over 6 ½f at Belmont. Fitter for that effort and the visors go back on now as she rises to 7f. Tougher here, but she rates well off the fresh effort and makes plenty of appeal with improvement likely. REDBACK FLYER (3) is another progressive type returning. His trials coming in have been rather sneaky under Chris Parnham who remains in the saddle for his return. Likely to be better over further, but he too has the class to fire a shot on his return. HARD SOLO (15) drops back in grade and trip today and it wouldn't surprise to see her form turn right around. SKYTALKER (6) can bounce back after pulling up with an issue last start.
