Verdict
THE DELLERCHECKOUT was well beaten on his chasing bow at Wincanton but transformed by blinkers at Taunton and is impossible to oppose if the headgear works as well here. Lovely Job possibly didn’t stay at Taunton last month and has slipped to an attractive mark. This looks too far for Shanahan's Turn while Easy Street is woefully out of sorts.
