Verdict
It was good going at Plumpton when Hilnamix made a winning debut in handicaps but soft ground when THATBEATSBANAGHER scored over track and trip last year. He’s won again back here subsequently and went close on his latest start. The underfoot conditions may also prove problematic for Ailes D'amour, who scored at Warwick earlier, but Storm Force One has a shout on a third at Wetherby earlier in the week and is preferred to the veteran Perfect Man.
