Verdict
French import TETBURY has gradually slipped down the weights and took advantage at Ripon last time. There looks to be more to come from him now finally off the mark and he's preferred to Tornado Force. The latter has been running well without success over shorter trips of late and will appreciate the return to 1m4f but Gran Maestro was less convincing over today's trip at York last time. El Bravo finished second at Hamilton recently but is upped a grade for this.
