Verdict
None of these inspire confidence but ABBEY STREET won over a longer trip here on his penultimate start and and gets a token vote in a poor contest only 2lb higher. Minella Examiner and Ramore Will have won off higher marks in the past and Invincible Cave finished runner-up at Lingfield in December while Blade Runner may improve making his chasing debut.
