Verdict
Silver Bubble won this last year while ETON BLUE landed the 2021 renewal. The latter won one of these events by six lengths at Goodwood a week ago and can shrug off a penalty. Send In The Clouds won over track and trip last time while Fen Tiger finished runner-up under today’s amateur at Catterick. Breguet Boy placed at Windsor and Starfighter finished third in an amateurs' race at Nottingham earlier.
