Verdict

BISHOP'S LEAP won a maiden race over today's trip on the all-weather last month and his earlier third at Windsor is working out well. Andrew Balding's charge should go close now handicapping. The normally consistent Fit The Bill threw in a bad one at Wolverhampton last time and Royal Toast is preferred stepping up in distance after a placed effort over a mile at Ascot. Mywayalways appeared to find the 1m6f at Chester beyond him on his latest start but had been thereabouts over today's distance earlier.
