        Verdict

        Spring Bloom ran well for second over track and trip on his comeback and the winner has subsequently gone in again. AL BAREZ, Came From The Dark and Isle Of Lismore all finished behind the former but Tom Clover’s charge lost ground waiting for a clear run at a crucial time in the race and gets another chance in this. Celsius beat Ancient Times on the July course here last summer and both return to action.
