Verdict

Most of these arrive out of sorts with the exception of GRAND PIANOLA. Tim Easterby’s charge is proving frustrating after a string of placed efforts but was beaten only a neck over track and trip a fortnight ago and looks to have a good opportunity in this company. Contingency Fee struggled earlier in the year and was still beaten a long way when third here in March while Going Native scored at the track in the same month but has been beaten out of sight subsequently. Judgment Of Paris has yet to figure but may do better in such a weak race now handicapping for the first time.
