Verdict
Barton Knoll and Air De Rock filled the places behind Gone Platinum at Bangor. The later is 3lb better off here so may well close the gap while Bestwork is fitted with cheekpieces in an attempt to find improvement on his second at Stratford. TRIPLE CHIEF is 6lb lower than when scoring at Taunton last year. He’s been knocking on the door again lately and Bryan Carver again takes off a handy 7lb. Keep Moving is preferred to Lord County of the others.
