Verdict

Torolight returned to winning ways over 1m4f here a fortnight ago but MURHIB was less then a length behind in third. The latter re-opposes on slightly better terms having won his previous couple of outings over course and distance and can reverse running. Crimson King makes a quick reappearance having missed out by only a neck at Kempton earlier in the week while Uther Pendragon is usually thereabouts at this level.
