Racing Post verdict
Third-partySummer Island has two wins in recent form and was placed off this mark last time, is effective at seven to eight furlongs on a range of going and handles this course well. He holds a strong claim. Collecting Coin has been consistent at the trip but needs a bounce-back after not staying home last time, while Spodo Komodo took his maiden here before a long absence and retains ability. Invincible Will has a strong course record and rates highly. Summer Island is our selection.
