Verdict
Saeed Bin Suroor has started to fire-in the winners and CITY WALK was a very comfortable winner at Chelmsford last month. Tinto won on just his second start for Michael Dods and a 3lb rise for that Thirsk victory does not seem harsh. Intrinsic Bond was behind him on that occasion and Tracy Waggott’s hold-up performer had excuses as he saw far too much daylight for his own good. Fortamour knows where the winning line is here having landed a course and distance double and Tipperary Tiger may build on a solid effort at Hamilton.
