Verdict

Canford Bay never threatened when runner-up over track and trip recently while Tathmeen was placed in a lower grade sprint here last time. Green Door is another upped in class after going close at Lingfield when finishing ahead of Zapper Cass but BOOM THE GROOM was winning a Class 2 sprint here off a 7lb higher mark back in February. He’s returning from a lay-off but a chance is taken Tony Carroll has him ready for action and he gets a speculative vote. Dynamo Walt races from out of the handicap but could bounce back at any time having tumbled down the weights.
