Verdict
Teescomponents Lad has been very consistent this season but his last two runs suggest he is high enough in the weights now. Thereisnodoubt was only beaten a neck at Wetherby having a first run for Lucinda Russell but WEST TO THE BRIDGE bolted up in a similar race at Chepstow last month and the second has won twice since. He won over track and trip in 2020 on heavy going so looks the one to beat again. Mack The Man tries a new trip while The Con Man has spent two years on the sidelines so is best watched.
