Verdict
Vitamin has been raised 5lb for winning over track and trip and is preferred in this grade to recent runner-up here, Medieval. Court Of Justice won a maiden at Beverley in good style and makes his handicap debut while Ripp Orf landed the Victoria Cup over 7f here in May and has placed over today’s distance subsequently. CORROSIVE has been progressing well until finding life tough in the Britannia at Ascot. He’s worth another chance in this less competitive contest and Hugo Palmer’s colt gets the nod in the closer.
