Verdict

Mr Bond is weighted to reverse Lingfield running in the autumn with Ponchatrain but has disappointed twice recently over this C&D and the ground will be a lot quicker than when he was second at Lingfield last time. Bohemian Rock has been well beaten in all three starts over fences while Keyneema appears to be regressing and the blinkers have been abandoned in favour of his customary cheekpieces here. KILVERGAN BOY has been largely disappointing this season but has his sights lowered today and has a promising amateur on board in the shape of Willie Twiston-Davies. He'll probably never get a better opportunity to break his duck over fences.
