Verdict

OUTOFTHEQUESTION could only manage third in heavy going at Salisbury recently but drops in class for this. Alan King’s charge gets another chance on today’s faster surface. Orobas won over today’s trip at Newcastle at the start of the month but was beaten over a mile at Wolverhampton earlier this week while Genuine Approval looks no nearer ending a long losing run despite tumbling down the weights. Hard Toffee is not badly treated if back to his best while Sanam remains unexposed and could go well having been gelded since last in action.
