Verdict
First Response went close over a mile here last time but has yet to win over today’s trip while Velma’s earlier success here also came over further. Dawn Breaking won over track and trip last month but CRANTOCK BAY (NAP) was only a neck behind having failed to get a clear run and George Scott’s charge gets another chance in this with normal luck in-running. Tommy G, Daniel Deronda and Medicine Jack have all placed here recently while Kumasi makes his handicap debut on his first start for over a year having joined Archie Watson’s yard.
