Verdict
It was heavy underfoot when Teruntum Star won this last year but he hasn’t scored since whereas Rock Boy Grey won recently at Chelmsford. Additional takes on older sprinters after placing in a higher grade at Ascot but fellow three-year-old PUNCHBOWL FLYER returned to winning ways in the testing ground at Windsor last time and is taken to defy a penalty. Lihou beat Roundhay Park at Chester three runs ago and the latter went on to win the Bronze Cup at Ayr but Colonel Whitehead drops back down in trip having completed a double with last month’s victory at Newmarket.
