Verdict

SPEEDING BULLET has worked his way back to form this season, shaping as if a step back up to 6f would suit when second at Pontefract last time, so he could be set to strike from 5 lb below his last winning mark. Macedonian is next on the list on the back of going close over this C&D, ahead of Mayo County.
