In depth
Verdict
Constancio has been steadily coming to hand and the Bangor runner-up is a rare runner here for Donald McCain. Sorbet deserves to get her head in front after three seconds in a row but VISION CLEAR likes it here. From three previous outings at the track, Gary Moore’s charge has a first and a second to his name and was going well in the other when unseating his rider. He holds Itsonlyrocknroll on his third at Fontwell in August. Westbrook Bertie was behind Jackson Hill on his first run for Lawney Hill and needs a softer surface.
