Verdict
Sir Oliver is upped in class after scoring over track and trip though won with plenty to spare. Whittle Le Woods remains in fine form having won at Wolverhampton in first-time cheekpieces while SHOOT TO KILL is another at the top of his game. He’s won all three outings since joining Robyn Brisland’s yard and can confirm latest running with both Tadreeb and Bowman with this drop back to 7f expected to suit. Karibana and Revolutionise are others who may benefit for today’s shorter trip while Tinker Toy hasn’t raced since the summer but represents a powerful yard in fine form.
