Verdict

Gettysburg Address was only collared close home at Bangor but will again face opposition for the lead, despite the small field. ELMONO had more in hand than the winning margin suggests here earlier this month. A 4lb rise is fair and he could complete a quick double for Lucinda Russell as Uttoxeter winner Cougar's Gold was raised 3lb after a narrow defeat at Ffos Las and seems to prefer a softer surface.
