Verdict

Bakht A Rawan steps up in distance attempting to land hat-trick and Berrahri is upped in class. Berlusca tends to save his best for Wolverhampton and Corton Lad was still beaten over five lengths when third at Hamilton. Modernism remains on a winning mark but ran a shocker here earlier in the month when behind LORD FRANKLIN. Eric Alston’s charge finished fourth on that occasion and can go close dropping down a grade for this. Cyril is a course and distance winner but becoming increasingly hard to predict.
