Temper Trap goes well here and Alex Fielding’s claim will aid his cause, as will the rain-softened surface, but he’s not certain to confirm Doncaster running in July with the recent Chepstow winner Hostelry. Strangerontheshore has become disappointing and Makalu is hard to catch right while Doncaster third Ratafia will carry overweight. Jkr Cobbler bids for the four-timer but Darbucks is weighted to reverse Ayr running in July with Iain Jardine’s four-year-old. DO I DREAM (NAP) is a pound lower than when second over track and trip in June when the ground was riding soft and she’s eased in grade today.
