Verdict

Both Squirrel Wood and Admirals Walk disappointed when prominent in the betting on their latest starts. Chandrayaan was tailed off on last week's outing on the Polytrack here but Jackie Love pops-up occasionally at this level when in the mood. Surrey Dream's recent win at Brighton came in a seller so the vote goes to the veteran TAKITWO, who has been holding his form much better than today's opponents and looks up to winning in this grade off his current mark.
