Verdict

The likelihood of fast ground has scared the trainers away so JUST BOND is taken to post a surprise victory for the Geoff Oldroyd yard. The eight-year-old is perhaps better known for his exploits on an artificial surface though he has run well where fast ground and small fields have obtained previously. Reel Buddy Star won back to back races in June and has been kept busy since. Shadowtime has gone up the weights by some way though Tracy Waggott has continued to send out the winners under both codes. Fishforcompliments is unquestionably well handicapped versus his form of a couple of seasons ago and was not too far away at Hamilton Park last time out. Right Grand is respected despite bombing out badly on handicap debut.
