Verdict

This less-than-inspiring contest could lose even more appeal as King Cool was due to run yesterday at Fontwell. Stonemadforspeed isn’t badly treated but the going will be softer than ideal. The trip is a concern for Buachaill Beag and Sisania has an absence to overcome. ILLTELLMEMA has been largely disappointing racing under Rules but she has shown a modicum of ability and can’t get much lower in the weights.
