Verdict

Reshoun is a thorough stayer and was entered in the 2.25 at York yesterday. Rajinsky has taken a step forward this year as he beat the prolific Get Shirty at Ripon in April before finishing third in the Chester Cup. His latest fourth in the Northumberland Plate was another solid effort but German raider LOFT may have too much class for Hugo Palmer’s six-year-old. Successful in a Group 2 at Hoppegarten in May, Marcel Weiss’ gelding landed a Grade 2 in the States on his next start and can defy his penalty. Like Vindolanda, the three-year-olds River Of Stars and Typewriter look up against it at the weights.
