Verdict

ENGLISHMAN ran his best race for a very long time when narrowly beaten in a Class 2 contest at Windsor on Sunday and would take some beating in that kind of form. Sir Billy Wright is on a mark he looks capable of winning from and should make a bold bid for victory number six while Wentworth Falls, a dual winner on good ground in April, may have found the going too lively under a big weight at Doncaster, a remark that also applies to Zanetto, who won here earlier. The top weight holds Jaywalker on earlier Redcar form while Giant Spark has been competing at a high level since scoring at Navan in October and has won here in the past.
