Wynford has been in excellent form on the Flat since winning here early last month but it’s only two days since he won at Beverley. This represents a drop in grade for YOUR BAND, who would be the form pick on his second at Aintree in June getting 2lb from Uttoxeter winner Hunting Percival. Socks Off has improvement to find now handicapping while White Walker is racing from out of the handicap but The Bees Knees could have been let in lightly if a spell chasing hasn’t blunted his speed.
