Verdict
FOURTH OF JUNE did well to beat Grizzle at Yarmouth considering he was very keen in the early stages. Ed Dunlop's charge is only 3lb higher here and, open to plenty of further improvement, can follow up. Rewarded was handed a walk over on his reappearance but won over 7f at Yarmouth last year and can win further races, while Frog Hollow was successful on soft ground at Salisbury in September and is another to consider. Hadaj and Mr Red Clubs may have too much weight, however, and more interesting are the tough duo Elkhart and Devdas. Archbishop wasn't beaten far in the Acomb Stakes at York last season having won on his debut at Sandown and also warrants respect.
