Verdict

Trouble Shooter has won over 2m and 1m4f in notching-up a four-timer with today’s trip not expected to be a problem though a further 7lb rise in the weights might be. Waterfront scored over a slightly shorter trip at Chelmsford last month and is upped in class while War Eagle and Honfleur look no nearer winning. INTELDREAM returned a shock 66/1 winner when upped to 1m4f here last time but it was no fluke. This extra distance will suit and he can figure again now handicapping. Manton Warrior finished in front of previous winner El Borracho when placed over 1m6f last month with the latter missing an engagement at Kempton yesterday.
