Verdict
Not much to get excited about in this but Mehmo did place twice on Polytrack earlier this year. PORTELET BAY and Attaboy Roy finished first and third at Redcar three weeks ago. The latter is a pound better off having been beaten half-a-length so there is nothing between the pair but we’ll stick with David Evans’ charge with cheekpieces added. Avior Star is fairly consistent but seems to lack a change of gear with Lexington Bullet having more scope following wind surgery. Tamaska looks held by the former on Catterick running.
