ASTAPOR continued his good progress when scoring at Carlisle last week. That was his third win of the year and looks stronger form than Stallone’s recent double on the Tapeta. Rajmeister won at Redcar in May but was beaten in a selling handicap here last time while Impressor went close over track and trip recently and should confirm superiority with Red Allure, Captain Corcoran and Burtonlodge Beauty.
