Verdict

Plenty with claims including Be Proud, who had earlier finished ahead of Landing Night when runner-up here before running well again in a tougher sprint last time. Swiss Connection scored over track and trip on his penultimate start but Rockley Point’s recent victory came in a lowly classified contest. Mutabaahy is penalised for winning at Wolverhampton and YOUNG TIGER is upped a further 6lb after scoring at Southwell but there looks more to come from Tom Tate’s progressive sprinter, who has now won three of his last four starts including a victory over course and distance.
