Verdict
Raised just two pounds for his latest success Trouble Mountain should prove to strong for old favourites Colway Ritz, Al Azhar and Conquering Love. The selection landed a bit of a touch when narrowly beating Intricate Web at Beverley a couple of weeks ago. The ground has remained in his favour and with a decent apprentice aboard he should go well. Colway Ritz looks to have found his ideal trip thesedays and should give the selection most to do on ground he relishes. Al Azhar ran well on his reappearance at Doncaster in March. Given a couple of months off he should be raring to go and should put up a good account of himself though he may have preferred some more give in the ground.
