Verdict
Nottingham winner Staunch never figured upped in grade last time at Newmarket and is conceding weight all round here. Torch was proving frustrating prior to landing the odds at Nottingham and has a penalty to carry here. TAKATUL missed the break at Yarmouth and then ran green but he still got up close home and there is probably still plenty to come from Charlie Hills' colt, who can extend his unbeaten record. Inn The Bull has been slow to come to hand this year but is tumbling down the weights.
