Verdict

Haydock winner Prussian should give another good account after going close again at Chester but Clayton has gone up 10lb for his placed efforts since scoring back in March. BLAZING SPEED make more appeal as he finished three lengths clear of a field that included a subsequent winner at Doncaster and he can make his handicap debut a winning one. Today's longer trip is a worry for Burke's Rock while dual Polytrack winner Position has yet to run a good race on the Turf. Anjaz has more scope than Mister Music and Unex Michelangelo and it was heavy ground when Lady Loch won at Haydock last Saturday.
