Verdict
Raymond Tusk will have found 1m4f too short when second at Doncaster but Mark Johnston has found a nice race for SIR RON PRIESTLEY on his comeback. Having a first run since second in the 2019 St Leger, Franny Norton’s mount will almost certainly be better for the run but his class can see him home and give his yard a third win in this Listed contest. Ocean Wind was a smart performer in bumpers who turned into a progressive stayer on the Flat year while Win O'Clock won five times in 2020 and makes more appeal than the enigmatic Laafy.
