Verdict

The 3:15 sees Repertory try to defy topweight after his seasonal second to Olivia Grace at Nottingham. That was not a bad effort considering that he was conceding 19lbs to the winner and a big run is on the cards. However, this much travelled performer would benefit from a bit of rain, and dangers such as Peruvian Chief and Fromsong lurk down the handicap. Off 8st 4lbs, Injaaz must also be considered. Last season, John Dunlop's mare was only beaten a short-head by Halmahera in the Portland after scoring over six furlongs at Goodwood. Although beaten on her last two starts, she would have a major say if spot on, and as the stable are flying at present, there is no reason to think that she will not be.
