Verdict
Stamina won’t be a problem for OCEAN REACH, who won over 1m4f here last time and is only 2lb higher, though Callum Hutchinson has had his claim reduced since. Retrospect was behind Richard Price’s charge at Nottingham last month but is better off at the weights and has since run well twice behind Teqany over longer trips. Jack Bean could make giant strides now upped in distance and Kalamity Kitty could also figure if carrying on recent improvement.
