Verdict

Tajdid opened his account upped to 1m4f at Salisbury but has been raised 5lb. BOBBY KENNEDY wasn’t far behind in second and is taken to turn the tables re-opposing on more favourable terms today. Tease And Seize may improve further for this extra distance while Tanglewood Tales and Cloudy Rose are among the least exposed and preferred to the likes of Where You At and Aletoile.
