Verdict
Sixties Idol was put up 7lb for winning over course and distance in June and was behind Waikiki Waves here earlier. Any further drying of the ground would make STONEMADFORSPEED tough to beat and he gets the vote having returned to form over a similar trip at Hereford last week. Fenlons Court was second at Stratford in June but never looked like winning. Gamekeeper Bill was also staying on at Huntingdon earlier this month and Black Anthem has Richard Johnson doing the steering. Debacle is unexposed and looks best of the rest.
