Verdict
It was soft ground when Royal Context won at Haydock earlier but this is easier than his latest task at York. Sound Of Iona beat Primo's Comet with Eeh Bah Gum and Line Of Reason further behind when successful at Doncaster on her penultimate start but had finished behind by Victory Angel over track and trip earlier. MACHREE won at Thirsk in July and was beaten only a head back at the same track last time when finishing well ahead of Gowanbuster. Declan Carroll’s charge gets another chance in a wide-open sprint.
