Verdict
ORION’S BOW (NAP) races off his lowest mark since the summer of 2016, when he rattled-up a five-timer before finishing second in the Stewards’ Cup. He’s back over his best trip today, despite a decent effort over 6f at Redcar last month, and should take all the beating. Jabbarockie remains in excellent form but a further 6lb rise for winning at Haydock may prove his undoing. Hat-trick seeker War Whisper struggled off this mark last year and recent Musselburgh scorer Landing Night also looks a few pounds too high now. Bondi Beach Boy’s Beverley win hasn’t been franked but he still looks better treated than Henley and Bashiba.
