Verdict
Stratton Oakmont’s victory at Southwell probably amounts to little and Irish raider LETS DO THIS makes more appeal as he was just beaten over an even longer trip at Sligo two runs ago. Bertie B will have stamina to prove and there are also question marks over the staying power of four-year-old Thirtyfour Thirty but Rajaran, who has been lightly raced, could figure if sorting out his jumping.
