Verdict

Tara Road drops down a grade but is impossible to follow with any confidence. However, Dusk Till Dawn won over course and distance before finishing third at Towcester and goes on the short-list. Free Of Charge could pose problems off bottom weight while Boyfromnowhere ran well back under Rules at Cartmel five days ago. STRUMBLE HEAD has been raised 2lb since finishing second at Ffos Las but is still very well treated on past form and has been attracting market support again lately. It could be his turn today with Detank probably best of the rest.
