Verdict

Warden Bond is a consistent performer on Polytrack and particularly effective over today's C&D. He looked as though he may be on the way back at Lingfield last week. Just Timmy Marcus has the past form to figure but this surface is a lot quicker than Titan Diamond's ideal while the jury is out on Jimmy The Lollipop at present. FOOTSTEPOFSPRING won here in April and went close again at Lingfield off his new mark the following month. Given a break since, he can return to action here with a win as One Of Twins has been disappointing since scoring over track and trip in March.
