Verdict
Swiss Ace and Alexander James placed in this grade recently while Walking On Clouds has been in fine form over shorter trips on the Tapeta. But a couple of these drop down in class including Lingfield third Lord Rapscallion, who has won four times on the Polytrack, though JUSTCALLMEPETE may edge this. The latter finished ahead of Abnaa when fourth in a competitive handicap at Southwell last week and James Evans’ charge can return to winning ways.
