Verdict

Enderman won on heavy going at Nottingham recently while Captain Vallo went close on the all-weather. It was soft ground when Jill Rose placed at Thirsk while Rambuso Creek and Plumette posted better efforts last time. Sir Maxi won over track and trip last month when just getting the better of EL MONTEJEAN but the latter is taken to reverse running on this faster surface and open his account.
