Verdict
Ghasham ran his best race to date here in January but STROLL ON BY travelled strongly for a long way in a better race than this last time at Huntingdon and looks the one to be on. Just Loose Change made a promising return when third at Taunton but King Of Lombardy is not improving and Propelled and Energy One both need to up their game now going handicapping.
