Verdict

SPEED CHECK, a winner at Newton Abbot and Stratford this summer, is 3lb higher than when second at Worcester latest but is still likely to be a warm order in this as Marlborough House, fourth over a longer trip here last time, is a long-standing maiden and Beyondtemptation hasn't built on her third at Wetherby last season. Alkali was tailed off on her reappearance at Perth but Stuart Crawford won't have sent her here for the good of her health.
