Verdict
Great Ocean, a past winner here, was third off this mark over further here latest but we’ll stick with STANLEY PINCOMBE, who got back to winning ways over this trip at Taunton last month. Fame And Fun is consistent and should be in the firing-line again while Energy One drops into this grade for the first time having contested a Grade 2 mares’ handicap at Newbury just over three weeks ago.
