Verdict
CALL OF THE LOON was only fourth off his new mark at Huntingdon a week ago and would have preferred a bit further but Ellis Collier’s claim will help the top weight today. Guguss Collonges has only gone up 5lb for scoring at Stratford and promises to stay this trip while Le Tueur likes it here and can’t be ignored after a pipe-opener eight days ago. Bertie‘s Bandana, however, is worth opposing again.
