Verdict

BRIGHTON BOY turned in his best effort of the season when winning at Pontefract earlier in the month and he is taken to follow up back in class 4 company. Von Trotter is 2 from 3 since upped to this trip and is feared most, while Quest For Fun helps to give Tim Easterby a strong hand in the race.
