Verdict

A useful sprint. Robert Cowell pair LEXINGTON BLITZ and Rhythm N Hooves arrive on the back of decent efforts at Musselburgh over Easter. The former was bang there from the off and gave best only towards the finish in that competitive race and is taken to resume winning ways now. Tropical Storm was behind the Cowell duo in that same Musselburgh contest but left the impression the outing will bring him on. King of Light could also have a say if fully primed for his first start since the autumn.
