      Verdict

      TORNADO FORCE continued his good progress when following up a win a Lingfield with a six-length victory over this C&D. Pelham Crescent finished well back in fifth and the runner-up Woop Woop had earlier beaten today's rival Trend Line. Jeremy Noseda's charge will take all the beating on that form. Shieldmaiden could figure back over her winning trip, but C&D winner War Of The Roses was pulled-up on his reappearance at this track and Jeer remains badly out of sorts.
