      Verdict

      The returning Charlie D has finished tailed off in both previous runs on Turf but Winged Spur ran well for third in a higher grade at York and looks to be coming to hand. GENERAL BROOK knows where the winning post is here and he’s been dropped 2lb since his latest course and distance fourth so should be thereabouts again. The Detainee has winning form on fast going over this sort of trip so also warrants a second look.
