Space War, just beaten in an amateurs’ race at Leicester last month, is very well treated on past form but is in the veteran stage now. Siege Of Boston stayed on well over 6f at York last time but is now 0-17 on Turf. Nick Vedder was third in a ladies’ race at Ascot three weeks ago and is knocking on the door while Catterick maiden winner Saisons D'Or is among the least exposed. MUATADEL has only raced over 7f once before but has been hinting that a step up in trip was required in recent starts and he’s not raced off a mark this low since scoring over 6f here last summer.
