Verdict
Croupier may need this and Point Lynas only won narrowly at Redcar, though the going remains in his favour. Tuscan runs in his first handicap on his eighth start and is respected, despite top weight. SPINAROUND was bumped at the start when just behind Bay Of Honour over track and trip last month and there shouldn’t be much between the pair again but the Gosdens’ gelding can come out on top this time. Galiac continues to run well but he’s been very busy and was placed again at Doncaster on Thursday evening.
