Verdict
Delorean won over track and trip on his handicap bow and is 4lb higher while Foden made a winning reappearance at Beverley back in April but hasn’t raced since. Croupier is preferred on a recent success at Windsor but Vintage Choice disappointed when sent off favourite over 7f here and is fitted with a hood. MOON WATCH also returned a beaten favourite when runner-up at Newcastle but the winner and third have both won since and the Gosdens’ charge looks worth another chance now handicapping.
