In depth
Verdict
Turbo looks well treated but does not often find much of the bridle and threw his chance away at Wetherby with a sloppy jump last time so Mick Easterby's gelding may be best watched in a race where the vote goes to Kayceecee ahead of Dr Cerullo and Lysander. The last mentioned has had the three runs necessary for a handicap mark and it will be interesting to see how he fares in this grade. Speed Venture had little chance behind the well-handicapped The Hairy Lemon at Warwick last time and he could be of interest off the same mark today. Dark Society has gone up 6lbs for his win at Fakenham and looks to have more to do today and of more interest may be Colin Tinkler's Dr Cerullo, who looks to be going the right way over hurdles. The vote though goes to Kayceecee, who is less exposed than most of these and remains potentially well treated.
