Verdict
Walk In My Shoes and Supasunrise won their penultimate starts with the latter preferred on today’s faster surface. Twilight Glory had the measure of Dysania when runner-up at Ffos Las but third-placed Methodtothemagic and Delgany Monarch are closely matched on recent running at Leicester. COUNTERACT had struggled since landing a double back in 2021 but has slid down the weights as a consequence and a third at Huntingdon last time suggests a return to form is imminent.
