Verdict

Greased Lightning made a winning debut when successful at Chepstow but is penalised today and ALMUTAWAKEL can take advantage. Owen Burrows’ charge finished clear of the rest when finishing strongly for second at Ffos Las and can confirm running with fourth-placed Saxon Scene. Tuddenham Mill showed only modicum of improvement at Nottingham and steps up in trip with Sydney Mews preferred and her debut fourth at Newmarket. Indian Dream went backwards last time and has been subsequently gelded.
