Verdict
Lawyer has fallen to an attractive mark and should be winning soon. Beautiful Stranger has won here in the past and made an encouraging reappearance at Wolverhampton while Red Touch is chasing a hat-trick at this track having justified strong market support in recent races, though steps up a grade for this. PATRIOTIC has been raised a pound since his latest course and distance third but was forced wide that day and stayed on strongly. The front three pulled well clear so the form looks decent and Chris Dwyer's eight-year-old could be the value. Pearl Spectre has his first run on Fibresand so is probably best watched while Tournament still looks a shade high in the weights.
