Billy Bond won for the first time in 24 attempts on Turf when scoring in heavy ground at Carlisle and is upped 5lb. Carlovian finished in front of Green Howard when second at Hamilton last month while GRANITE CITY DOC found one too good at the same track when ahead of New Abbey Angel and Stardrifter. The latter may prove good enough on only his third start of the year and is preferred to the likes of Restive, Inglorious and Mustaqbal, who were all placed without threatening the winner on their respective latest starts though the latter drops down in class.
