Verdict

Lyndon B may be coming to hand but was behind the staying-on SHEER ROCKS at Sandown earlier this month and the latter can get back to winning ways. Eton College was third over course and distance off today’s mark last week while Saeed bin Suroor’s runners here are few and far between but Colour Image won here as a three-year-old in 2020 and has only run four times since.
