Verdict

Great Sound created a favourable impression on his Chepstow debut when he looked backward. Fran Berry gave him a marvellous ride to get him home from an unpromising position. He could turn out to be above average but he will be asked more serious questions in this contest. Here And Now is classically bred and the form of his Chester success is working out well enough to make him one for the shortlist. On To Victory represents an in form team and should appreciate this trip but our preference is for STONE THE CROWS. Roger Charlton has his horses in excellent form and this son of Cape Cross made all to score here two months ago. He holds Turnpike Trip on that form and the way he travelled at Haydock last time caught the eye. The all the way winner produced a telling kick 2f out and he still looked green when asked to pick up and cover the move. In the end he could only manage second with some highly regarded types behind. Connections will have learned plenty from that and more use may be made of him here.
