Previous results

In depth

Verdict

Though also engaged at Wincanton, WEST BALBOA will be much better suited by conditions and distance here as she was impressive over 3m in a Grade 3 here in April having won well over 2m5f at Kempton previously. Brewin‘upastorm won this in 2021 but unseated his rider at the first when odds-on last year and has to give the selection 9lb. Millers Bank has an excellent strike-rate over timber but is much better known as a chaser nowadays.
