Verdict

EVENING ATTIRE may well come good again back in this grade. Beaten in Class 4 company last time, he had earlier defeated Capolavoro over course and distance and the latter went on to win here subsequently with Ravenhoe behind. Mr Christopher scored over track and trip last month when Malaysian Boleh was third but was beaten off today’s mark on his latest start while Head Space and Rock Warbler won lower grade contests last month. Chiswick Bey is back on a winning mark and finished closer at Lingfield recently.
