In depth
Verdict
Mon Frere was a big disappointment attempting to land the odds over 2m at Wolverhampton last time and headgear is applied. Blinkers worked the oracle for CELTIC CLASSIC a week ago when he left his previous form behind to win on the soft going at Lingield. The blinds remains in place and there should be more to come over this longer trip. Highway Robbery won over 1m4f at Lingfield in June and returns to the all-weather but Trouble Shooter was well beaten over today’s trip at Wolverhampton last time and Ignatius hasn’t threatened since scoring over 1m2f earlier in the year.
