Verdict
TRANS SONIC looked more like his old self when winning a seller over 1m3f here a week ago. He should take today's extra furlong in his stride and makes more appeal than last month's C&D winner Newport Arch. The latter has been beaten at Wolverhampton subsequently but is reunited with winning partner Michael O'Connoll for this, while Turjuman went close over track and trip a month ago though he's been well beaten over hurdles since. Jawaab will be taking advantage of his slip down the weights soon, but Wolverhampton hat-trick heroine Maven is an unknown regarding both today's distance and the Fibresand.
