Verdict

Sophosc is 3-3 over timber and Daire McConville’s claim negates most of a further 9lb rise but this looks a bit more competitive than the races he has so far contested Rare Clouds bounced back to form at Worcester earlier this month but ALTO ALTO (NAP) produced a cracking first run in a handicap off this mark at Sandown in April and further progress is expected this season. Hardy Boy was tailed off at Worcester on Thursday but Dream In The Park enters calculations after grinding out a win at Stratford and Harry d'Alene can’t be ignored.
