Verdict

Hector's Here bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins having beaten ROLLER a length on his latest start. But the latter failed to get a clear run on that occasion and is taken to turn the tables re-opposing on today’s better terms. Tundra finished behind the selection last time while Servo has been raised 5lb for finishing runner-up here. But Gavi Di Gavi was beaten only a neck at Lingfield and Clay Regazzoni is back on a winning mark and is another to consider in an open affair.
