In depth

Verdict

Glamorous Express won over 6f here last month while Maharajas Express scored over today’s minimum trip at Wolverhampton. But a rejuvenated BOOM THE GROOM has already won three times this year with his latest victory coming over track and trip and another bold bid is expected from Tony Carroll’s veteran. Bang On The Bell and Man On A Mission could also go well.
