Verdict

LONG LAUGH (2) sat handy but couldn't get the job done first-up when beaten 0.7L at Belmont. The wide draw this time is a query, but he rates highly on his return performance. He's been knocking on the door for a while now and this presents as a golden opportunity. WREXHAM (6) jumped favourite on debut but didn't fire a shot despite trialling strongly going in. He did pull up with a slight issue there however and his trial this time in was solid. Can return with a bang. FLIP THE PATTYS (8) makes his debut today with a trial win under his belt recently. Dyson was on board there and remains with the gelding for his debut. Finds a nice race and can make his presence felt. SALVE REGINA (9) was better last time out and can improve again today. TIGERO'RILEY (4) should be fitter for the fresh effort and gets more in his favour today.
