Verdict
LA TIHATY landed the odds in emphatic fashion at Lingfield earlier in the month and Roger Varian’s colt looks the one to beat once again with an apprentice’s allowance reducing today’s penalty. Day Trader steps up in distance having posted a better effort over 6f at Lingfield and is preferred to both Polar Ice and Sweet Candy Dale while £50,000 purchase Case Of The Ex may prove best of the newcomers ahead of Rogue Force.
