Verdict

Robert Fitzroy showed real battling qualities when fighting back to score by a short-head at Yarmouth and loves the fast ground. STORMIN TOM had dropped to a lowly mark when landing a Class 4 handicap over this trip at Ripon and with just 1lb extra to contend with can gain his ninth career victory. Kensington Art has yet to win and was beaten 8l in a Class 6 at Beverley last time while Maghfoor is 1-24 though has dropped to his lowest ever mark as a consequence. Ninepin Bowler won a Class 6 at Hamilton in June but hasn't run well subsequently.
