In depth

Verdict

Topper Bill’s earlier success came over 7f at Catterick and he carries a penalty back at this level. INTELLO BOY may take advantage of the weight concession as there was some cut in the ground when finishing third over a mile at Haydock and Tim Easterby’s charge is preferred to stablemate Summer Power. Contact should appreciate this longer trip and finish closer having debuted over 6f while and Love Is Golden can only improve having failed to beat a rival at Sandown on his debut.
