In depth
Verdict
Postmark should improve on his handicap debut at Salisbury but Pub Crawl isn’t certain to be suited by this step up in trip. SALVATOR MUNDI was eased in the closing stages when third over track and trip last month. He is a pound lower in the ratings now and his rider takes off a further 5lb so he could be the one to be on if cheekpieces produce the desired effect. Cliffs Of Fury was second in a higher grade at Newmarket and warrants respect while Polyphonic might do better now tackling handicaps.
