made all, ridden over 1f out, edged left and kept on well inside final furlong
TORMENT (NAP) is held in high regard and has entries in some valuable races in the autumn. Despite being hampered, he showed a fine turn of foot to win going away on his debut at Windsor and should maintain his unbeaten record over this extra furlong. The others appear closely matched with Albernathy leaving his debut run behind when scoring over this trip at Sandown and Champagne City staying on dourly when making a winning start at Beverley. Lucymai was a 50/1 chance when scoring on Polytrack on her introduction and has more to do here against the colts.
