Verdict
Plenty of recent winners on show including the treble-seeking Dark Side Prince and Grandfather Tom. The former is preferred in this grade while Glamorous Force landed a double before well beaten behind the runner-up Trusty Rusty over track and trip last week. Mutabaahy also finished behind the latter and is fitted with a visor but RED WALLS gets another chance. The latter won a higher grade sprint over course and distance before beaten over 6f back here and a bold bid is expected.
