Shearian, a winner at Southwell in March, ran well on his return to Turf over 7f here last week and should get into the action again. Galilee Chapel gained his only Turf success over this course and distance last month when easily accounting for Spokesperson but couldn't follow-up under a penalty at Musselburgh though got no sort of run. LENDAL BRIDGE attracted good support at Musselburgh last week and duly obliged, coming home well clear for which a 6lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent a follow-up. Mount Cheiron won a poor race at Southwell and Outlaw Torn hasn't been running well though this is the latter's lowest mark in almost three years.
