Verdict
Thegreyvtrain placed over track and trip last time when ahead of both Swell Song and Teepee Tim but QAARAAT may edge this. The latter could only manage fourth in a higher grade here a week ago but Harry Russell’s 7lb allowance helps his cause back at this level. Tilsworth Rose returned a losing favourite at Bath having scored at Lingfield earlier while A Go Go is fitted with headgear after a disappointing effort here.
