Verdict

A lengthy absence proved no barrier to success for former pointer WITH DISCRETION (NAP) at Towcester. He won with the proverbial ton in hand and is difficult to oppose in this. The return to a longer trip shouldn’t faze Chepstow scorer Dinos Benefit and he makes more appeal than the other previous winner, Sensulano. Drill Baby Drill made a decent start behind Skewiff at Haydock and will have benefited from the experience but Storm Patrol may need another run to blow away the cobwebs.
