      Verdict

      The Daley Express won over 5f here in March but never threatened the winner when second over track and trip last time. Belledesert has plenty to find with the former, despite today’s revised terms, and Titan Goddess still looks high enough in the weights as does course and distance winner Handytalk. OUR LORD notched up three wins over track and trip last year including a Class 2 success in September. A chance is taken that Mike Attwater has him primed for action and he gets the nod in this.
