Verdict

Only five runners in this but the bottom two both won last time, though Ramore Will has had a break since scoring over 2m4f at Plumpton in May and would have a bit to prove over this much longer trip. Bally Longford is versatile as to distance and is running well enough to suggest he’ll be involved at the business end again whileTea Time Fred has recaptured his best form in recent weeks, though has never won off a mark this high. GRACEFUL LEGEND is a very useful mare and has won off higher marks in past. She is having a first outing since April but is more than capable of winning a race like this if fully wound-up.
