    Verdict

    Boom The Groom attempted to make all over track and trip last time but was caught close home by SHAMSHON. It could be a similar story today with Stuart Williams’ charge expected to confirm superiority. Street Parade finished behind the above pair here before placing at Chelmsford while Batchelor Boy won over 6f at the track in June but hasn’t figured since.
