In depth

Verdict

Several won their penultimate starts including the unpredictable Cold Harbour, who scored over track and trip before a poor effort at Newcastle. Renardeau gets a change of headgear having won at Ffos Las back in July while George Mallory scored over 1m2f at Haydock before placing over today’s trip at Hamilton. The Dancing Poet has yet to race over this far and debuts on the Fibresand but a chance is taken on GRAZEON ROY taking to the surface as he also steps up in distance having gone close in testing going at Doncaster just four days ago.
