      Verdict

      Recent Epsom winner Midnight Whistler and Billy Roberts were both engaged in the same race at Yarmouth yesterday so those runs should be monitored should they turn up here. CAINHOE STAR has gone up another 9lb since scoring at Chelmsford but he’s clearly a much-improved performer since the gelding operation and a hat-trick beckons with De Sousa taking over the reins. Lawmaking drops down a grade and has each-way claims if all stand their ground.
