Verdict

TOUSSAROCK has been threatening to get his head back in front and he’s proven over the trip unlike Obtuse. Nortonthorpe Boy is upped in grade and also the weights and may come unstuck while Praise Of Shadows makes his all-weather debut following wind surgery and a subsequent lay-off. Sweet Bertie is unexposed and has a first and third to his name here so looks the biggest threat to the selection.
