Verdict
A few of these are well treated on past form but arrive out of sorts. Love The Leader and Mont Royale head that list but others are preferred. BUCKEYE SHAN was keeping on over this trip at Bangor after winning a Ffos Las seller when Stonemadforspeed was beaten 12 lengths in third. He gets a tentative vote as though Adherence was in decent form in the spring, like Cottonvale and Damut I'm Out, he was a beaten favourite on his latest start. There is probably more to come from Sir George Somers and he’s worth a market check.
