Verdict
Temper Trap’s earlier hat-trick came on testing ground including a defeat of Lockdown Lass, who had completed a double on soft going before that. Tremendous Times went close over a longer trip here in July and cheekpieces are applied but a chance is taken that ALPINE SIERRA can take advantage of this drop in class and get his head back in front. Gordonstoun returns to action having ended last year with a double over 7f in plating races.
