Verdict

Whatcoloristhewind popped-up over track and trip when fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time. He finished well ahead of the disappointing Good Time Ahead and is preferred to Doncaster runner-up Chess Player, who hasn’t raced since January. LIMELIGHTER has been running well on the Flat since finding only one too good over track and trip last month and another bold bid is expected racing off the same mark today. Uttoxeter winner Fox's Socks returns to action with something to prove off his current mark.
