Verdict
Dragon City came good at Plumpton under today's conditional earlier in the month and is upped only 2lb. But he's not certain to confirm running with Walk Of Gleams, not beaten far in fourth. TITANS APPROACH should go close after returning to action with a second over a longer trip at Wetherby to Bruce Almighty and Graeme McPherson's charge drops down a grade today. Anda De Grissay posted a better effort over these hurdles in June when finishing third but L Frank Baum is 7lb higher than when scoring at Plumpton at this time last year.
