Verdict
Course regular Theydon Grey landed a double here when following a 1m4f success with victory over 1m6f. He attempts 2m for the first time today but Great Fighter won over today’s trip at Musselburgh last month and also bids for a hat-trick. BYRON FLYER scored over 2m on the all-weather early this year and was beaten only a head over 1m6f at Newmarket last time. Dropping down in class for this, Ian Williams’ charge may prove good enough. The remainder are harder to fancy with stable companions Gabrial's Star and Gabrial's King both looking high enough in the weights though Edge Of Sanity won over track and trip back in 2014 but hasn’t raced for over two years and debuts for Iain Jardine.
