Verdict

Circuitous was narrowly beaten by Raise A Billion over 6f at Hamilton and is 3lb better off so there's little between them again. Let Right Be Done's two victories have been over much further but the three-year-old Charava has been running well in this sort of company, though there was some give in the ground when he won at Ayr. Another from the younger generation, Call Me Crockett, arrives here with a penalty for his victory at Ayr last week so a chance is taken with SACRED BOND. Richard Fahey's charge, an 85,000gns purchase, showed some pace in his two juvenile starts and on his reappearance at Wolverhampton in March and though unraced since then he's taken to start making up for lost time.
