Verdict

Mr Tyrrell has a 4lb penalty for scoring at Windsor last week but had been dropped 2lb so is still looking well handicapped. Delta River had been jumping before beaten a short-head at Chepstow and James Doyle takes over from an apprentice. SUNSET BAY has yet to win but went very close at Salisbury nine days ago and can go one better under Oisin Murphy. Blackcastle Storm disappointed when favourite at Yarmouth while Newton Jack wasn't suited by dropping back to 6f after a comfortable victory over this trip there earlier.
