Verdict
A couple of these filled the places in a similar contest over track and trip last month. DONNIE AZOFF ran green for most of the way on that occasion but rallied in the home straight to snatch second place from Le Boulevardier and is fancied to confirm running in this. Beyond The Pale has placed in a bumper at Market Rasen and Talk Of Fame may well improve for today’s tongue-tie while Winton is related to several winners on the Flat and preferred to Henri Morgan Parr and Thetracksofmytears of the remainder.
