Verdict
CAME FROM THE DARK won over 6f here in June and scored easily in soft ground over course and distance earlier in the month. It could be worth sticking with Ed Walker’s grey in a wide-open sprint, despite a hike in the weights. She Can Boogie finished third here three weeks ago ahead of Camacho Chief and Powerallied while Saaheq could also figure with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. Stake Acclaim is not out of this back on testing going and Hyperfocus will handle the underfoot conditions but True Mason and Makanah have something to prove on today’s ground.
