Bang On The Bell missed out on a hat-trick when below par at Windsor while Street Life, Astapor and Brian The Snail all won their penultimate starts. The latter beat Soul Seeker at Ripon with Albegone and Birkenhead further behind but has had no luck with today’s draw and another Ripon winner in ECCLESIASTICAL is preferred. The latter is upped in class but won with plenty in hand and is due to be raised by 4lb more than today’s penalty. Therehegoes is in good form but is another drawn out wide.
