Verdict
Redarna hasn’t so far scaled last season’s heights this year but he loves it here and there were signs of a revival last time at Haydock. Shelir was second in a higher grade at Epsom before running at Royal Ascot and the return to a mile is probably in his favour. Summa Peto also ran at the Royal meeting after wins here and at Wolverhampton while Bulls Aye looked ready for an extra furlong at Musselburgh but this can go to HEADINGLEY, who has trip and ground to suit and has been dropped a pound since his latest third at Doncaster.
