Verdict

Course specialist Punching has won no less than 10 times at this track and looks sure to figure though he's closely matched with Elhamri on their running here back in April. Clear Spring remains in fine form and the course winner is not easily dismissed off a 5lb higher mark on the back of a win at Brighton. Gracie's Gift is another multiple Fibresand winner to consider but a punt is taken on handicap debutant TUNNAGER GROVE. Hughie Morrison has registered six winners in eight attempts by his three-year-old runners at this track in 2012 and the former can add to his tally after a second at Warwick last month.
