Verdict

The progressive GOLDEN MAVERICK has yet to encounter going this soft but has won on most other types of ground and a hat-trick looks on the cards given the ease of his latest success at Epsom. Lunacy will handle the underfoot conditions though drops down in trip and is upped in class after scoring at Hamilton while Leap Year Lad is another facing a tougher task after winning at Haydock. Mathematician and Hondo are open to improvement now handicapping.
