Verdict
Executive Force made a winning debut back in 2016 and was scoring for the first time since when successful over track and trip last week. But he’s penalised for that success and REY LOOPY makes more appeal. Ben Haslam’s charge arrives in fine form, having won two of his last three starts here, and is taken to confirm latest running with both Testa Rossa and Rioja Day. Novice winner I'm Improving has had a recent outing over hurdles but Pearl Spectre usually saves his best for Chelmsford.
