Verdict

A winner at Uttoxeter during the summer, VICTARION has gone close in both subsequent starts including in a higher grade at Wetherby last time. Philip Hobbs’ charge can go one better at this lower level with a similar effort. Mr Love bids for a hat-trick raised a further 7lb having narrowly won in testing going at Newcastle while the front-running Moidore went close at Market Rasen before falling over track and trip. Tegerek disappointed at Ascot last month and Toi Storey is preferred fitted with a tongue-tie on his second outing after wind surgery.
