Verdict
San Pedro got taken on for the lead last time at Plumpton and sulked. He was eventually pulled up with One For The Wall staying on into second. The Imposter only dead-heated last time and is 5lb higher but he’s clearly in cracking form, though seems best on really soft ground. Ailes D'Amour bounced back from a poor run at Doncaster to finish second at Sedgefield and is tried in cheekpieces today while there should be more to come from Scamallach Liath but Southwell winner CHARGING POINT looks capable of further improvement upped in trip again.
