Round The Island makes a quick reappearance after winning again at his beloved Pontefract on Thursday, though that was over 6f. He’d earlier only finished fourth behind BRECKLAND (NAP) here and the top weight has every chance of winning for the third time in four starts having easily accounted for the luckless How Bizarre at Musselburgh last month. Summer Secrets was just beaten at Doncaster when last on Turf so is probably best of the rest.
