Verdict

Rochester House and Monsieur Lambrays have won over today’s trip though both arrive in poor form. C'Est No Mour could only manage fourth off a lower mark in this in 2018 but Beholden finished runner-up over 2m at Lingfield recently, though is upped in class. Dal Horrisgle has switched yards and undergone a wind operation since last in action but Calling The Wind won over 1m6f here in July and ran well again at Newbury last time. NATURAL HISTORY returned to action with a victory over 1m4f at Chester, having missed the whole of last year, and a chance is taken he proves as effective over this longer trip representing last year’s winning trainer.
