Three of these took part in a similar contest over track and trip earlier in the month when runner-up Meshardal came out best just ahead of third-placed EXTRASOLAR. But the latter tumbled down the weights last year and looks set to end a long losing run at last. Windforpower was further behind on that occasion but Tricky Dicky beat a subsequent winner when winning at Southwell and collateral form also gives him the beating of Secret Missile. Top of The Bank won twice on the all-weather earlier in the year and was second at Hamilton recently but Major Crispies has won just the once on Turf in 26 attempts.
Secret Missile 8-1 (9-6) Mid-division, dropped towards rear after 2f, driven and headway under pressure inside final furlong, stayed on well into 4th final 50 yards, not reach leaders, 4th of 8, 1 3/4l behind Captain Bob (9-1) at Newmarket 6f hcp (5) sft in May.
Extrasolar 6-1 (9-3) Off the pace in last pair, headway on outside over 1f out, ran on inside final furlong, nearly snatched 2nd, nearest finish, 3rd of 8, 3/4l behind Vallarta (9-4) at Catterick 6f hcp (5) gf in May.
Tricky Dicky 8-1 (9-4) Made all, driven when when challenged over 2f out, ran on well, won at Southwell 6f hcp (5) pol in May beating Captain Bob (9-4) by 2l, 9 ran.
Top of The Bank 10-1 (9-12) With winner, ridden and every chance inside final furlong, no extra and just held on for 2nd place post, 2nd of 6, 1 1/4l behind Spirit Of Wedza (9-7) at Hamilton 5f hcp (5) gf in May.
Meshardal (GER) 7-2 (8-11) Held up in touch, good headway over 2f out, ridden and went 2nd over 1f out, kept on, just held on for 2nd, 2nd of 8, 3/4l behind Vallarta (9-4) at Catterick 6f hcp (5) gf in May.
