LORD WARBURTON struggled at Bath on earlier attempt over today’s trip but it was firm going on that occasion and he’s run well over 1m4f either side of that. He gets another chance on this more suitable surface and is preferred to Roman's Empress, who makes a quick reappearance carrying 6lb extra for winning over a shorter distance at Musselburgh a couple of days ago. Grimsthorpe Castle was placed over track and trip in July and had finished in front of Boulevard Beauty before that while Ben Lilly can figure if lasting home.
