Verdict
TREVISANI has a double penalty having followed up an Exeter maiden win with a defeat of the odds-on Turn Turk over track and trip earlier this month. But Bryony Frost takes off 7lb again and that could be a crucial factor along with her mount’s preference for fast ground. Old Harry Rocks is receiving 4lb but had to be dropped into a Class 5 event to get off the mark at Worcester and that was on soft going. Guerrilla Tactics has won between the flags but was tailed off on his only previous start under Rules.
