Verdict

Ambushed is penalised for winning at Newcastle while Angel Of England improved for the step up to today’s trip when going close at Thirsk. But Karl Burke has sent out two of the last four winners of this and CLASSY BOY is taken to improve having ran into plenty of trouble when third at Doncaster on his debut. Sassy Glory represents last year’s winning yard while Cuban Storm is a newcomer to note.
