Verdict
Altharoos is now back on the same mark as when winning this contest at a big price last year with Ginger Jack back in sixth. Boots And Spurs beat Beardwood at Doncaster last month but has not figured in two runs since while it was heavy ground when Silvery Moon won at Haydock earlier. It’s been sometime since Free Code raced over a mile but he went close over 7f at HQ on his penultimate start while Bluegrass Blues made a winning reappearance at Ascot earlier this month, though is upped in class along with recent Ffos Las winner Raising Sand. WILDE INSPIRATION failed to figure in Class 2 company last time but was close-up fourth in this grade at Ripon before that and Julie Camacho’s charge may get involved off a similar mark today. Abushamah could also go well.
