Verdict

A distinct lack of recent winning form on offer with the exception of NORMAL EQUILIBRIUM. The latter won at Chester last month and gets a speculative vote on that form. Monumental Man was beaten only a neck in last year’s renewal though is 12lb higher today but Diamond Lady went close at Newcastle last time off a similar mark. Bashiba drops back down in class and can figure while Oh So Sassy slips further down the weights and Rock Of America was narrowly beaten here back in April.
