Verdict

ONE BOY has been racing in softer going and won at Nottingham last month. But he’s scored on good ground in the past and may prove good enough in this. He finished in front of Jeffrey Harris when second at Ayr in July and beat subsequent Southwell winner Bluella at Nottingham. Thornaby Princess finished ahead of Lord Of The Glen when scoring over track and trip earlier and Astrophysics may prove best of the rest in a weak sprint.
