Verdict

BLOODSWEATANDTEARS has raced on the Polytrack and over 1m2f at Sandown since scoring over a mile in testing ground at Brighton in May. With the ground and trip in his favour today, Bill Knight's charge can return to winning ways. My Boy Ginger is unexposed and went close in soft going at Warwick on his return to action but Green Mitas may struggle dropped in trip. Hint of Mint should be capable of better in time but Albahan looks high enough in the weights now after three wins on the all-weather this year.
