Verdict
Redmond is back on the same mark as when successful over track and trip a little under a year ago. Old-timer Goring One was back in the groove at Lingfield and is another course and distance winner. He makes more appeal than Warwick scorer Arquebusier over this trip. Polo The Mumm could also play a part but it will be disappointing if SARTORIAL ELEGANCE, dropped in class, can’t make an impact in a race like this as he’s now 11lb lower in the weights than for his last win.
