Verdict
MR STRUTTER needed only to be pushed out to beat last year’s winner Reclaim Victory over course and distance last month and remains on a winning mark. Mekbat finished further behind the selection while Beast Of Burden’s earlier success here came over 6f. Little Ted returns to this surface looking for a first win on the all-weather while Mr Coco Bean hasn’t won since 2021.
