Verdict
BOBBY ON THE BEAT was another winner for Phil McEntee’s in-form yard when scoring at Lingfield last week. He may well defy a penalty in this. A first-time visor brought an improved effort from Triggered when runner-up at Southwell while Show Me A Sunset and Expert Opinion are closely matched on running over the minimum trip here in November. The latter’s stablemate Jupiter Express steps back up in distance on only his second start for the yard.
