Verdict
The veteran Astrophysics ended a long losing run when successful at Chepstow a week ago but was beaten by GUSTAV GRAVES at Wolverhampton earlier. The latter has subsequently placed at Chepstow looking for a first win on Turf and should go close again. Iesha has mostly raced on the all-weather and placed at Chelmsford when ahead of Super Julius while Dan De Light and Portelet Bay will need to improve on recent efforts to figure.
