The finishing effort of Doktor Glaz was a little bit disappointing at Wetherby and he’ll need to finish off his race better to score here although he did travel well throughout that race. John Williams is another strong travelling sort who goes well around here but there must be a question mark about the trip for this one. Shanroe Street returns from a break and looks to need some help from the handicapper and this is most likely best left to AN LAOCH who will be much better suited by this drop in class and stamina test than the speed tests that he’s been handed on his last two starts.
