SPRING LOADED is best on this surface. He was ahead of Related when winning over track and trip for the fourth time back in March and is 3lb higher today. Boomerang Bob returned to winning ways at Chelmsford last month and has beaten both Hakam and Gentlemen this year while Justice Good went close over the minimum trip at Nottingham recently though hasn’t won since 2014. Amazour won on this grade at Newcastle earlier in the year and Lawmaking is interesting on his first start for new connections having scored at Chantilly in July for Andre Fabre.
