It took Going Underground 23 attempts to finally get his head in front but he’s penalised for that recent course and distance success. Mr Coco Bean has been in the mix looking to end a long losing run and finished in front of Tafsir here last time but RECLAIM VICTORY beat Iron Sheriff over track and trip back in July and gets the vote having gone close subsequently. Strong Team’s recent placed effort at the track came over a much longer trip.
