Verdict
The Tatling was claimed from David Nicholls' yard after murdering the field in a Catterick claimer but he will have more to do if he is to score today. He is now trained by Milton Bradley but the vote is given to his other representative, Eastern Trumpeter. He has gone up just 2lb for a win at Sandown and still looks off a winning mark. The booking of Kevin Darley looking a major positive. Beyond The Clouds has been running well without winning and should put in another solid effort today. There is however the suspicion that he is better with cut in the ground and he is probably best watched here again. Kissing Time has been making hay in lower grade handicaps but the handicapper has taken due notice and has raised him in respect of his wins. Roxanne Mill bids for a three-timer. She's clearly a filly in form but will need to produce a career best to win here. Delegate also bids for the hat-trick nut while the ground is in his favour, he will find this a tougher assignment than those of late. Coastal Bluff is a light of former glories.
