In depth
Verdict
Byron Hill is weighted to reverse Sandown running with subsequent Chepstow winner Roar and hasn’t been disgraced in two previous runs over 2m on Tapeta so could go well from near the foot of the weights. A few of these, including Coeur de Lion, stay a bit further so will want a strong gallop and that will suit SPEEDO BOY, who certainly wasn’t winning out of turn at Ascot and has won off a higher mark than this in the past. York winner Goobinator remains unexposed on the level and can’t be ignored.
