Verdict
Bringitonboris bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having finished in front of Anif last time and beat subsequent winner Dawaaleeb before that. But SANDRET looks set to take advantage of a slide down the weights having been narrowly beaten here a fortnight ago and it could be the turn of Ben Halslam’s charge today. Gravity Force has been in the mix over 7f and Defence Treaty won over the same trip here in October while Convertible has more scope than most.
