In depth
Verdict
This should concern Touring Turtle and Rockview, with preference for the former who will have the assistance of the champion. This represents a drop in class and he should make no mistake. Rockview has run well at this level, noteably when runner-up to Tempo at Plumpton, and he can follow the selection home.
