Verdict

Ron Harris runs two in this but Union Rose has only beaten one home in her last five starts. THE DALEY EXPRESS has slipped to his lowest-ever mark and is unlikely to get a better opportunity to open his account for the season. Bellevarde is very consistent and probably deserves a change of luck so may be the chief threat ahead of Lethal Blast, who didn’t handle heavy going at Lingfield last month. Seneca Chief is now 3lb lower than when second at Sandown in June but hasn’t run up to that form since.
