Verdict
Torn And Frayed has the form to win a race like this but has had a few chances now and was disappointing on his reappearance. Salopian Boy tried to refuse and unseated Charlie Deutsch at the first on his debut at Bangor so has a bit to prove now while Roman Rock had been chasing in Ireland before joining Richard Newland. BUZZ DE TURCOING was no match for a couple of decent novices at Wetherby but that was probably a step forward so we’ll take a chance that he handles today’s going.
