TERMONATOR (NAP) would have finished closer over a longer trip here last time with a clear run. An earlier second in a higher grade contest over course and distance is the more pertinent form and Grant Tuer’s charge is given another chance. Broken Rifle is usually thereabouts and placed again at Wolverhampton while Libby Ami steps up in trip but down in class having won over a mile at the end of last year. Cusack and Going Underground are others with something to prove over this far.
