Verdict

Though he doesn’t always look keen, PLEASURE GARDEN is proving a typical Sir Mark Prescott improver and he can defy a further penalty to complete the four-timer. Hammy End deserves a change of luck while Echo would have claims on his second at Newmarket last month. Petitioner has dropped from a mark from which he should be competitive while Vampish was going well prior to his run here at the start of the month but The Resdev Way remains out of sorts. Spanish Persuader has scope but also an absence to overcome.
