Verdict
Retirement Beckons has won his last two and the booking of leading amateur Simon Walker is an obvious plus but Linda Perratt’s charge was beaten by BANKAWI in a classified stakes at Ayr last month and is only a pound better off. Markazi is looking a light of former days but Martin's Brig won a maiden handicap over course and distance earlier this month and Star Of St James’s second at Redcar should have blown away any cobwebs.
