Verdict

Second twice here this season, Suns Up Guns Up was third behind an in-form rivals over this trip at Bath 12 days ago but CRITIQUE is a pound lower than when a close third at Yarmouth two runs ago and can be forgiven his latest run over a longer trip. Ed Walker’s four-year-old is just preferred to Reams Of Love, who has disappointed since chasing home the progressive Wink Of An Eye off 3lb higher in June, and Heath Rise.
