Verdict
This looks quite competitive but Thomas Shelby bolted up at Bangor at the end of September. Follow The Swallow is enjoying a revival and arrives on a hat-trick and Antony is only a pound higher than when runner-up on his return to action at Chepstow. WESTERN CLIMATE was well supported on his reappearance last season and would have been placed had he not fallen at the last. He didn’t do much wrong after that and his win over 3m5f here in March was overdue. He is 8lb higher on his return but still well treated on the pick of his form. Dentley De Mee and The Toojumpa could also figure from the foot of the weights.
