Verdict
Gwencily Berbas has slipped down the weights a little and is no forlorn hope in this if a wind operation has had the desired effect. His yard also run the former Grade 2 and Grade 3 winner Ramses De Teillee while Ballyandy was running over fences for the first time in almost four years when a close third at Perth but it’s five years since Rolling Dylan last won a handicap. Lostintranslation won a Grade 2 at Ascot on his reappearance last season but WANDRIN STAR can repeat his victory in this from 12 months ago being only 2lb higher.
