Verdict

Round The Island and MR ORANGE are both course specialists. The former has found only one too good the last twice but the latter looked to be coming to hand here three weeks ago and gets blinkers today – he is 3lb lower than for his last success. True Mason made a winning start for Tony Carroll at Doncaster and is still well treated on past form, despite a 7lb rise, while Stalingrad will likely be contesting the places again. Dream Together also has claims despite going off the boil a little lately.
