Verdict
Greatgadian landed the odds at Wolverhampton in September and the Derby entry has had a wind operation since. Imperial Sun returns to a mile having finished fourth over 7f last time and Resumption also steps up in trip. But BRINGSTY looked a future winner when finishing runner-up over today’s trip at Lingfield and David Simcock’s charge may prove the one to side with. Nankeen and Smash Hit are newcomers worthy of a second glance.
