Verdict

Aldbourne has a bit to to prove off his current mark and MRS MEADER looks more favourably treated on her reappearance. She won three of her last four starts in 2022 and will handle the underfoot conditions. Glory And Honour will find today’s trip short enough but Zuraig and Menelaus can be given a chance while Crafter has yet to threaten since arriving from France and cheekpieces are applied.
