Verdict
Torran Sound was only beaten half-a-length at Towcester on his latest start but that was back in October and on fast ground off a 6lb lower mark. CASH INJECTION must have every chance having been in good form at Exeter lately. He won on the Devon course just before Christmas and is preferred to Landenstown Pearl, who made a promising comeback from injury when second at Warwick. County Zen is only a plater nowadays and may struggle to confirm recent course and distance running with Monroe Park on 15lb worse terms.
