Verdict

Chief Craftsman placed here in April when 4lb higher and is now tried in cheekpieces. Qawamees is on a long losing run but arrives here in decent form and has been dropped another 2lb. Dream Point won one of these at Catterick but OUT OF BREATH (NAP) was always travelling best, despite only beating Lord Torranaga a head at Ayr, and Grant Tuer’s in-form four-year-old can complete the four-timer.
