In depth
Verdict
SERGEANT TROY has slipped to a mark 11lb lower than winning at Warwick last year and may finally be set to strike again after a better effort at Wolverhampton last time. Gallantry and Karate are practically standing dishes in these events but rarely win and the same comment applies to Having A Ball, though he did beat Querido over C&D in February. Holyfield Warrior won an even poorer handicap than this over track and trip last month but ran a shocker at Lingfield last time.
