Verdict
Trumpet Man completed a hat-trick over 2m with last month’s victory at Haydock but steps up a couple of grades having been raised 11lb. WIN O’CLOCK has been left on the same mark having won another match over 1m4f in this grade at Leicester and Roger Charlton’s colt should have the measure of today’s rival.
