Verdict

HOLDENHURST has been raised only 5lb despite scoring by over four lengths over course and distance a fortnight ago. Bill Turner’s sprinter can go in again. Upavon has been placed in sellers recently while George Dryden’s better effort at Wolverhampton came in claiming company. Devils Roc won over track and trip back in May but remains 7lb higher while Coronation Cottage beat Essaka at Windsor earlier in the year and Malcolm Saunders has sent out the winner of this on a couple of occasions in recent years.
